Note To Paul Krugman

Krugman's got it all wrong in his NYT column. He argues that "war presidents" are so dangerous we cannot afford to look at the current reasons for this war; we must have a full-blown investigation into whether the Bush Administration "hyped the case for war."

No, Paul. Such an investigation now would put the lives of soldiers at risk, and worse, would further the goal of you and other Leftists to "Vietnam-ize" this conflict, cutting it short and risking the sort of horrors -- or worse! -- that followed our departure from Vietnam.

Yes, a strong nation studies itself and determines how to steer a better course. Let's do that, by all means. But let's wait until the job is done, the troops are home and the terrorists are vanquished.

That will not only serve to protect those who protect us, it will also show just how petty and mean you and your cohorts are. Besides, as the WashTimes put it so well today in dissecting the Downing Street memos:

The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence last year found no evidence that Mr. Bush or his top advisers, such as Vice President Dick Cheney, pressured the intelligence community to make the case for war. A separate British inquiry absolved Prime Minister Tony Blair of similar charges. Still, the "Bush Lied" argument refuses to die in certain circles on the left, and now they have primary documents to prove it -- or so they would have us think.
