Default Jim Webb's response: We will show him the way

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/24/wa...on/24webb.html

Mr. Webb invoked his own biography, and his family’s three generations of military service, as he declared that today’s soldiers could no longer trust the judgment of their commander in chief.

Democrats would try to work with Mr. Bush to change course.

“If he does not,” Mr. Webb said, “we will be showing him the way.”

My thoughts exactly! This guy should have every neo-con shaking in their fairy boots.

Webb is awfully well spoken and surprisingly progressive. Can't remember if this op ed by him was posted, but it's quite good:

Speak for yourself, Senator, I don't trust party flopping political opportunists either!

I didn't see either speech, and will probably try to gloss over them later today. If Webb is indeed the traditional democrat, the moderate, sane person people said he was prior to the election, then great. My only fear is that party will derail his principles. These days, they always do.

At any rate, I'm still waiting for the Democrats plan for Iraq. GW's moves have been rightfully ripped to shreds to this point, but I've yet to see what it is the Dems want to do. When Webb says "we will be showing him the way", am I wrong to assume he means they have a plan? Well, what is it?

I guess you didn't trust Ronnie Reagan. I didn't either.

He switched parties in 1962, and supported Nixon in 1960. Not exactly the same as Webb but nice try by you, good effort.
