It may seem a sacrilege on this day to quote something as politically charged as James Taranto's words below, but Mr. Taranto is actually writing about what was said at a 9/11 memorial service this morning by Barack Obama. Regardless, Mr. Taranto's words are the quote of the day (thus far):
Remember when these guys [the Democrats in power] used to complain that President Bush was "distracted" from Afghanistan by Iraq? If the U.S. is attacked by terrorists on Obama's watch, it may be written that Americans died because we had an insurance salesman when we needed a commander in chief.The increasing drumbeat of defeatism on Afghanistan (which includes a smattering of right-wing isolationists along with mainstream and left-wing Democrats) leads us to think that maybe Iraq was a distraction after all--a distraction for Democrats, who seem to have in their DNA a drive to relive the glorious defeat in Vietnam.
