Shore Has Been Taken In
In his commentary on NPR’s Weekend Edition, July 21, 2007, Daniel Shore attributed the failure of Senator Reid’s all-nighter on Capitol Hill to his failure to perceive that “many Americans do not want to cut the rug out from under our troops in Iraq.” It seems that Mr. Shore has bitten the President’s bait by accepting his labeling of forcing a withdrawal of the U.S. forces in Iraq as a withdrawal of support for the troops.
In fact, it is the President who has placed the military in harm’s way in Iraq, where it has no reason to be and where it cannot achieve the goal of instilling commitment to supporting a democratic system of government. Pulling the troops out of Iraq is only in their best interests and ultimately in the interest of self-rule in Iraq.
