ED SCHULTZ RESPONDS TO A WAR WHORE

(h/t Nicole Belle at Crooks & Liars)

Ed was on Anderson Cooper 360 and rightfully took offense at Cliff May's assertion that some on the Left want us to lose in Iraq. What I think Ed should've done is reply that it's up to the Iraqis to win because it's their country. Here's the link to the full transcript.

MAY: Yeah, I think also on some of the left wing blogs, Obama is taking some hits. But this does move him to the center and look, I want to put the…I’m not a big fan of his, but I’m going to put the best spin on it, which is that he understands the situation…fairly…well. Certainly better than the Daily Kos does and some of those on the left who would like to see America defeated in Iraq as a demonstration exercise that US power can never, never be used for good.

SCHULTZ: That I am…whoa, whoa! That is absolutely outrageous! That is outrageous for you to say people on the left want to lose in Iraq. I’m not going to sit here and listen to that. This is the Fourth of July, we are Americans, we don’t believe in fighting in Iraq the way we are doing. We are depleting our resources. That’s ridiculous. That’s absolutely ridiculous.
