Such is the question being asked by Rich Lowry [1], who is a regular read for me. says Rich:
“…People of good will disagree about whether America should have gone to war in Iraq.’ …Democratic-platform draft language
What to make of a political party that doesn’t officially have a position on the biggest policy question in our politics? The Democratic-platform language on Iraq is almost meaningless. People of good will disagree about most everything, up to and including abortion and child labor … yet the Democrats manage to have positions on those issues. Iraq war, yes or no? The Democrats answer with a definite maybe.”
Ah, yes, strong decisive leadership, eh?
This is a tacit admission on the part of Kerry’s people that the action in Iraq has more popular support than he does.
