“Hanson makes the mistake of assuming Democrats are capable of expressing genuine concern about the present situation in Iraq.”
Maybe he assumes that (I don’t know, as a fact, that he does) and maybe he’s just letting his reader see that appropriate conclusion for themselves - apparent in the Democrats own conflicted (past vs present) positions - without Victor stating the obvious.
PING
Hanson should just spit it out and be done with pining for a Democrat party that exists no more.
