The Sanity Defense
Joe Lieberman gets it - you don't change warhorses midstream...
Joe Lieberman, Democrat senator from Connecticut and former VP candidate, spelled out his opinions and cogent reasons why Rumsfeld isn't going anywhere.
Joe concisely understands - nothing indicates Iraqi prisoner abuse was directed by Rumsfeld or the JCS, the President has confidence in his SecDef, we are in the middle of a war, and nothing would make American policy opponents, like France, any happier than seeing a tough wardog like Rumseld taken off the line.
This should be the Kerry campaigns position - let other Democrats do the dirty work, be above the fray and unflinchingly pro-American. Instead, the Kerry campaign is muddling down in this, and will realize too late the folly of it.
