the problem is that there isn't a strong Democratic voice on the subject.

The Dems make a mistake saying that Bush lied about this or that. Forget lying. Let's assume he really thought that Iraq had WMD, or that we only needed 150,000 troops in Iraq, or that the insurgency was in its last throes, or that Lebanon and Egypt had great democratic movements, or that Iran and Syria were at bay.

The question, to paraphrase Dukakis from 1988, is competence. The Democrats should say that all these things going wrong show that the Republican leadership is incompetent on foreign policy. And in making that case -- on television, in newspaper editorials -- they can recite all the errors in judgment along the way.
