John Kerry's promise to pull all of our troops out of Iraq before the end of his first term strikes me as beyond stupid. Apparently Mr. Kerry is unconcerned that he may be perceived as inviting attack. Either that, or he has forgotten all about Madrid. Whether or not there was actually some cause and effect, the sequence of events remains. The terrorists attacked on the eve of Spain's national election murdering hundreds. The pro-war party in power, apparently ahead in the opinion polls up to that point, was defeated. Is Mr. Kerry so confident the same kind of attack can't happen in America? Isn't it possible that there is some idiot terrorist somewhere who thinks he can pull it off?
His pronouncements continue to boggle the mind. But they may also provide a hint as to the identity of those mysterious foreign leaders who look him in the eye and say "you gotta win this thing". Did Mr. Kerry happen to run into Muqtada al-Sadr in a New York restaurant?
