Teddy vs Reality

Ted Kennedy (D-Margaritaville) wonders why we can't train the Iraqis "in eight or 12 or 15 months to fight and die for their country." The answer is that it's harder than you think, Senator.

"They've learned just the opposite: that the strong always rule the weak, that a man with a gun can take what he wants, when he wants, and will not be held accountable by anyone," he says. "Therefore, we not only have to train Iraqis to be good, efficient fighters: We've got to basically change the way they view what it means to be a 'man with a gun.'"
