I noticed a more conciliatory tone on both sides of the aisle, which was refreshing. There is no need for politics to contain the amount of vitriol and such it has contained recently.
I think Senator Webb made a very strong case WRT domestic policy. There is no reason we need "superstar" CEOs making millions off outsourcing our economy to India. Don't believe in any of that socialist nonsense, but every once in awhile the greedy get too far ahead off the backs of others and need to be smacked down. TR did it a hundred years ago and someone needs to do it now.
But with regards to foreign policy, I was unimpressed. I don't think anyone disagrees that things could have gone better, but the President offered a clear second plan and the Democrats still seem to be offering what a speech teacher of mine once referred to as "glittering generalities." Though I do note that the Senator offered a much more conservative outlook on any eventual "redeployment" than has been the Democratic party line. I wonder if this is his personal take or if the higherups authorized him to extend that olive branch . . .
And I will remind all that those on both sides of the aisle are our elected representatives; with concern for the UCMJ and general good taste, let's not let this political discussion go downhill please . . .
