Reply #36: Edwards promises not to bail on the Iraq we destroyed. He's right.

This is the second time it's come up this morning. It is, of course, an essential question in this election.

Democrats, contrary to Republican nonsense, are not silly people. We are quite aware that regardless of our opposition to this war, we are citizens of the country who started it. We've been aggressively destroying Iraq for more than a decade and it's always been wrong. That doesn't mean we have LESS responsibility there, it means that we have MORE responsibility there. Personally having been against this war before it started does NOT absolve us of our responsibilities as Americans.

What we need right now is a serious person to clean up the Mess-O'Potamia brought to us by the Bush family.
