David Brooks in today’s NY Times argues against leaving Iraq now. Despite my belief in the errors leading to this war, I think he’s right. But, we need to get straight information from the administration. Here’s how he concludes his column:
“Biden's speech brought to mind something Franklin Roosevelt told the country on Feb. 23, 1942: "Your government has unmistakable confidence in your ability to hear the worst, without flinching or losing heart. You must, in turn, have complete confidence that your government is keeping nothing from you except information that will help the enemy in his attempt to destroy us." (my emphasis)
That's how democracies should fight, even in the age of polling.“
