Just caught a new News2 (WKRN) feature. Everyday till the election, they will give a moment to one of the Senate candidates to address a specific question. What a refreshing break from the constant commercials ...
Today it was Bob Corker who was asked what the U.S. should do in Iraq. Here's a summary of Corker's answer:
-Corker doesn't believe that we went into Iraq with enough troops.
Does that mean that Corker wants to send more troops? He didn't say.
-We should listen to the military on military issues.
I'm starting to see a trend ... hmm, didn't Bush give this list last week?
-We need to train Iraqis to handle their own security as soon as possible, disarm militias and concentrate on "hotspots" like Baghdad.
Aah, it is the Bush plan, namely a more verbose form of "stay the course" (wait, I forgot we're not using that phrase anymore) Will there be any surprises? Wait for it ...
-We need to support the Iraqi government as they "figure out how to divide borders within Iraq."
What's this? Divide borders? Does this mean that Corker supports a dissolution of Iraq into 3 ethnic sub-states? This topic has been bandied about for a while. Does this mean that Corker is giving up in the idea of a unified Iraq? So many questions ...
I'm looking forward to this spot evey day.
