Powerline: "President Bush is pretty much alone as a voice of reason and candor on the war."

I've been struck many times over the past several years by how clear and candid President Bush is in describing and explaining his policies. He said again today that he welcomes "a good, honest debate" about the war. Unfortunately, however, there is no honest debate going on. Most Democrats want to lose in Iraq so they can blame the Republicans and gain political advantage. Some Republicans care less about whether we win or lose than about their re-election next year. Neither group is in a position to tell the American people, honestly, what it wants. So President Bush is pretty much alone as a voice of reason and candor on the war.

Wow.
