David Brooks writes in an article titled, When Reality Bites, that the Democrats are basically screwed on two major issues.
1. Their proposal for immediate withdrawal from Iraq.
2. Their conflicting proposals of fiscal discipline and new programs.
Removing the troops from Iraq would be a huge mistake. Thomas Barnett’s idea of a large peacekeeping force has always made sense to me.
The only way the Democrat’s domestic spending proposals seems possible is if they take the money that would have been spent on military in Iraq and use it here in the U.S.
Still, good luck bringing home the troops without messing up the world.
