Good editorial in Cape Cod Times this morning - "Decision time"
Edited on Wed Nov-23-05 10:10 AM by Lastlaughin08
This newspaper endorsed Bush on '04, primarily because of Iraq and not changing leadership in mid-stream. They're having second thoughts now.

1. Second Thoughts?
Maybe Americans should wake up and think BEFORE they vote next time.
The Democrats need to run commercials from now until Election day 2006.
Black screen with the phrase in red: "THINK before you VOTE!"

4. here's a link, however, I think they (again) fail to ask the pertinent
question:

Why did the illegal invasion take place in the first place, given that there were no WMD?

Instead, the authors seem to feel the question is the less relevant:


" But he didn't answer the nagging question: How are we measuring success? What goal are U.S. troops now pursuing? "


Sure, these are questions, but they work from the assumption that the so-called 'war' was a) legal, and; b) moral.

Big flaw in the premise, IMO.

3. I'd have to quibble about a few points, but he's right.
At least he understands what a failure this war has been for the US.
2000 dead and not much benefit.
