I love me some Jon Soltz

He's the Kosovo and Iraq Vet at VoteVets who demolishes the wingnuts with facts and logic.

"The people in our organization have been to Iraq. We've seen it first hand. We don't need Republican talking points to tell us the deal on the ground in Iraq. There was no Al Qaeda there when we invaded the country. Just today, Al Qaeda controls 10 percent of Afghanistan. I mean, the question is-- when you have 90 percent of your army in Iraq, and you have only 10 percent of your force structure in Afghanistan -- the question is, What is the central function of the War on Terror?

John McCain is going to be like George W. Bush on the situation with Al Qaeda, which is a policy of retreat. Al Qaeda is in Afghanistan. The American military is stuck in a bloody civil war in Iraq. We need to take the fight to the enemy in this country, and defeat the people that attacked this country. John McCain and George Bush are failing our country."




You can read about his laying it on the line at MSNBC. Lovely. Or watch it here:

Thanks to jhutson at Daily Kos for the article.
