US and the World

Why not "bring it on?"

Krugman points out:

The Kerry campaign is making hay over Mr. Bush's famous flight-suit stunt, but for me, Mr. Bush's worst moment came two months later, when he declared: "There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on." When they really did come on, he blinked: U.S. forces - obviously under instructions to hold down casualties at least until November - have ceded much of Iraq to the insurgents.

Wow! What incredible debate material! What incredible political ad material! How many of our soldiers have died since he said that? How much control have we lost in Iraq since then? How many innocent Iraqis have been killed since then. This was his most stupid macho moment. For god sakes, Kerry, bring IT on!
