GOP wants the knife to *always* cut their way

My pal, Greg, writes:

And here the Republicans are, telling us we can’t object to the war without endangering the troops (Remember Kosovo? “The blood will be on Clintons hands! This will fail!”) and that it’s okay to share command with foreign troops (Remember Kosovo? “NATO troops in command of American forces! It’s an outrage!”).

This would piss me off a LOT less if Kosovo hadn’t happened during the tenure of most sitting GOP senators. Fuck these guys.

From Salon:

“McCain and the other key supporters of a surge of troops into Baghdad, including the American Enterprise Institute's Frederick Kagan and former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Jack Keane, have warned that sharing command with the Iraqis could make success in Baghdad impossible. Under the potentially risky scheme, Americans and Iraqis will fight beside each other in Baghdad -- but report to their respective commanders. McCain late last month told the incoming commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, "I know of no successful military operation where you have dual command." Hawks like Kagan have called for the Americans and Iraqis to work side by side, but with the more competent Americans in control.”
