Resolution Versus Evolution

Evolution

This election comes down to a choice between one man's evolution and the other man's resolution. With his endlessly repeated Tora Bora charges, Kerry has made Afghanistan a major campaign issue. So be it. Who do you want as president? The man who conceived the Afghan campaign, carried it through without flinching when it was being called a ``quagmire'' during its second week, and has seen it through to Afghanistan's transition to democracy? Or the retroactive genius, who always knows what needs to be done after it has already happened -- who would have done ``everything'' differently in Iraq, yet in Afghanistan would have replicated Bush's every correct, courageous, radical and risky decision -- except one. Which, of course, he would have done differently. He says. Now.

I like that term, "Retroactive Genius!" Since hindsight is always 20/20, Kerry will never falter on his decisions.

Only one thing wrong with that, "A leader must guess right on the front end", and that's something that Kerry is not adept to doing. He missed a lot of time in Congress as a Senator. I suppose that was so he could make his decisions after the fact.

Oh Kerry! No wonder you are being tagged the "retroactive genius".

Quote[/b] ]

``Outsourcing'' is a demagogue's way of saying ``using allies.'' (Isn't Kerry's Iraq solution to ``outsource'' the problem to the ``allies'' and the United Nations?) And in Afghanistan it meant the very best allies: locals who had a far better chance of knowing what cave to storm without getting blown up. As Kerry himself said on national television at the time of Tora Bora (Dec. 14, 2001): ``What we are doing, I think, is having its impact and it is the best way to protect our troops and sort of minimalize the proximity, if you will'' -- i.e., not throwing American lives away in tunnels and caves in alien territory. ``I think we have been doing this pretty effectively and we should continue to do it that way.''


As usual, you can always depend on `ol Lurch to change his position, depending on which way the wind blows....

...this man is dangerous. VERY dangerous.
