THE BEST REASON FOR HAVING VOTED FOR BUSH: Check out Al Gore's closest foreign policy adviser in the Washington Post today. It's a classic. Saddam is a real threat; he endangers America and the Middle East. There is every reason to take him on urgently. But ... not now. The reason? "U.S. forces will need to be rested after the campaign in Afghanistan." Puh-leeze. Russia (with whom we have now created a strong alliance) and France - yes, France! - might complain. There's a worry about "the Arab street." Has Fuerth learned nothing from the past two months? And there is this classic piece of equivocation: "We certainly ought to cooperate with the Iraqi National Congress, but not be swept up in romanticism about its ability to operate effectively inside Iraq." This, of course, is exactly what they once said about the Northern Alliance. So where should our next priority in the war against terrorism be? Er, well, somewhere other than Iraq. Where? Fuerth bravely posits "other parts of the world." Gee, thanks, Leon. This piece is so profoundly incoherent, yet so spun in liberal diplo-speak, you can almost imagine Gore listening to a briefing along those lines, nodding his head, pulling on his beard, and saying, "Fascinating, Leon, fascinating." And then he would conduct a seminar. Thank God he lost. - 11/27/2001 01:36:51 AM

True. And Clinton (the man who wishes he were President now because of his "experience with handling crises") would be even worse.
