If there was a more callous remark than this thrown out into the blogosphere today, I’d like to hear it:
if Obama–or Clinton–can change the focus of the debate to the question of strategy–the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption and broader foreign policy priorities (real Al Qaeda v. Al Qaeda in Iraq), McCain has a far more diffiult hill to climb.
I guess those people who got blown up today in Baghdad in a gruesome and heartbreaking mass murder don’t matter, because they’re not “ours.”
The U.S. military, which gave a lower death toll, said both attacks were caused by female suicide bombers and blamed al Qaeda. An Iraqi military official said the two women were mentally handicapped and the bombs detonated by remote control.
I guess what happend today is okay—because it was done “only” by Al Qaeda in Iraq, not by the “real” Al Qaeda.
Does Joe Klein consider this a serious argument?
Does he ever consider the full implications of the things that come out of his mouth?
How many more morons like him are out there?
And does he really think that Democrats can win on national security with arguments like this?
