This is the worst possible position to hold now. It promises only nearly endless bloodshed and a greater civil war in Iraq when the U.S. does finally leave. Edwards is both a liar and a willing war criminal.

He is still as wrong on Iraq as it is possible to be.

There is no more contemptible position, in 2005 or in May of 2003, than "we have to fix what we broke." What slime.
