Asskickin

Man did Jim Webb kick Lindsey Grahams ass on Meet The Press this past Sunday. They were debating the war and Graham kept drawling, let them win, let them win, to which Webb responded with statistics about how the troops really feel about the war, and telling Graham that the military fight for the country, we don't let the military conduct warfare just for their own sake. Two of the GOP Mandarins in the Senate, John Warner and Dick Lugar went off the reservation this week, but some of the diehard chickenhawks didn't get the memo. It's interesting when a guy who was in the Marine Corps and was decorated in Vietnam, has to tell a guy who was a stateside Air Force Reservist that its time to end this misguided adventure. Webb of course has a son who has served in Iraq and is going back later this year. Webb never mentioned this during the debate, but it speaks volumes to his character that he wants his son and his comrades out of Iraq. Graham and the other GOP chickenhawks in the Senate and in the House could learn a thing or too from a real warhero, and a guy who has a personal stake in ending this costly war. I'm so proud of the people of this Commonwealth for electing a guy like Jim Webb to the Senate.
