I just finished watching today's Kudlow and Company show on CNBC which featured comments on the Iraq war by both Tony Snow and John Murtha. Tony Snow came across as complete political spin which he is good at based on his tenure at Fox News. John Murtha by contrast comes across as a straight shooter who is looking at the best interests of the United States of America. Murtha is a true patriot, who is extremely forceful and thoughtful. Congressman Murtha passes the BS test. Tony Snow doesn't. Kudlow being a conservative in the Reagan mold came out in defense of Bush but it was pretty halfhearted.
President Bush today again charged the Democrats with lacking a plan for winning in Iraq. Just what is Bush's plan other than "staying the course" or "changing tactics". Let's face it, the Bush Administration has no plan either. Besides it's somewhat disengenuous to say the Democrats have no plan when they are not in charge of the country at the moment. Their only real role is to serve up honest criticism of how the war is going. And it is going very bad. As Kerry reminded us on Monday, when you don't do your homework and try to run a war on the cheap, you are likely to end up in quagmires like Iraq and Vietnam.
