War -- Because we're not bright enough to know what else to do.

I'd wondered how the right would bring up the op-ed written by the members of the 82nd Airborne in the NYT's "The War As We Saw It" and here we have Tucker chatting with Retired Colonel Jack Jacobs on the subject.

I knew wingnuts would need to tread lightly when mentioning the 82nd, and indeed they did. Here they say that they believe these soldiers "thought they were performing a public service" when in reality they are a "detriment to the moral authority."

Neither say who -- or what -- the moral authority is, in fact, Tucker actually says that he doesn't even trust George W. Bush's assessment of the surge in Iraq.

Perhaps Tucker is waiting for Jeebus to appear to him in a toasted cheese sammich, or Ebeneezer Scrooge in the middle of the night, to tell him the war is stoopid, and it's time for America to go home.
