Glenn Reynolds provides his analysis of why the GOP may lose many seats next month. All his points are fair ones, but they miss what are for me the big issues. Two words: Iraq and spending. Three years after the invasion of Iraq, we have a problem. Instead of a stabilizing society with new freedoms, we have record levels of suicide attacks, tens of thousands of civilian casualties (with records being broken each month), rampant torture and death squads, and political paralysis (I'm hearing rumors of a coup brewing in Baghdad). We also failed to find any of the WMDs the war was based on. All this means - and I'm sorry to break this to Instapundit - that someone in the Bush administration screwed up the most important task of our time. Why will the Republicans be defeated this November, if they are? To paraphrase Mr Carville, it's losing the war, stupid.Putz is simply in denial about Iraq.
