“The greatest weakness of the war effort so far has been the way it has become a partisan affair. This is the fault of both sides: the Rove-like opportunists on the right and the Moore-like haters on the left. But in wartime, a president bears the greater responsibility for keeping the country united. And this president has fundamentally failed in this respect. I want this war to be as bipartisan as the cold war, to bring both parties to the supreme task in front of us, to offer differing tactics and arguments and personnel in pursuit of the same cause. This is not, should not be, and one day cannot be, Bush’s war. And the more it is, the more America loses, and our enemies gain.”

What appealed to me most about this article was its tone. He just stated facts and opinions matter of factly. The approach taken by people like Rove and Moore are NEVER going to be effective in persuading those who don’t agree with them.

Anyway, how do I add a link when posting a comment? Doesn’t seem to like embedded html tags :).

So far I have only had a chance to skim it, but the conclusion caught my eye: “When I read my endorsement of George W. Bush of four years ago, I see almost no inkling of what was about to happen and the kind of president Bush turned out to be.”

The rest of us knew a dangerous fool when we saw one…
