Reply #8: "Kerry will find a solution"-- but to which problem...?

[mike_c]

So far he seems determined to "find a solution" to continuing the occupation of Iraq in some form or other, keeping the U.S. military bases there, building the monster embassy, and so on. Why can't he acknowledge that the problem includes the invasion and occupation themselves, and any "solution" must invlolve an end to the occupation and an end to U.S. colonial designs on Iraq? He doesn't have to outline a plan for ending the occupation-- as others have pointed out, the situation is too fluid to propose any specific plan this far in advance-- but he needs to articulate his objectives as including cessation of the occupation as soon as possible.

on edit: not to threadjack-- although my reply was to a specific response, one need only substitute "Pelosi" for "Kerry" to make that reply relevant to the original post. Dem leadership is incredibly tangled up on the issue of Iraq and seems completely unable to articulate a clear opposition. This weakness is going to gut the Party-- it panders to the centrists and independents who have little real loyalty to the party, while outraging the left, who would be fiercely loyal to a strong progressive opposition party. Pelosi should know better.
