So says John Hinderacker. Here's some bold leadership by the Democrats. From the Washington Post:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said yesterday that Democrats should not seek a unified position on an exit strategy in Iraq, calling the war a matter of individual conscience and saying differing positions within the caucus are a source of strength for the party.
Pelosi said Democrats will produce an issue agenda for the 2006 elections but it will not include a position on Iraq. There is consensus within the party that President Bush has mismanaged the war and that a new course is needed, but House Democrats should be free to take individual positions, she said.
Here we're faced with the biggest issue facing the nation, the Iraq War, and the Democrats want nothing to do with it. It's with a touch of irony and humor that I note the Democrat's use to claim that President Bush didn't have a plan for Iraq. Now, three years later, they're telling the American people that they'll figure out their position soon enough. Hinderacker notes:
Hey, that's the bold and courageous leadership we've come to expect from the Democrats. The reality is that the split among Democrats on Iraq goes beyond different views of policy and tactics. Some Democrats, to their credit, want the U.S. to win the war and want democracy in Iraq to succeed. Others do not. That's a pretty tough gap to bridge.
