I think the notion that Kerry would prosecute the war better than the current administration is absurd. Does anybody actually believe that?
I do, for one. You call him a political whore, and I can't completely deny it. The thing is, there is such great political pressure to do Iraq differently, so to speak -- a pressure that President Bush completely ignores -- that Kerry's whoreishness picks up on. On the other hand, being a political whore can get you in bed with the wrong people.
In reply to:
accusing his fellow soldiers of widespread atrocities despite his narrow view of the war, he does not understand the proper way to dissent in time of war.
