Wesley Clark on the Iraq War
Via Atrios, a quote by retired General Wesley Clark that very succinctly sums up the disaster - fully and enthusiastically supported by Sen. Hutchison - known as the "Iraq War":
The attack on 9/11 occurred on the President's watch. He took us into a war with Iraq we didn't have to fight. It's been used to incentivize recruiting in Al Qaeda. The number of people who are affiliated with Al Qaeda worldwide has more than doubled since 2001. Our armed forces are bogged down in Iraq. We haven't been able to effectively engage with North Korea. We're hearing the tom-toms beating for war with Iran. I think the American people can judge. This administration's policy has been a mistake and he's not made us safer. He's left us more vulnerable.
