That’s what it sounds like to me.

Edwards, who supports a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq, said he would keep the country safe by going “after terrorists where they are.”

Now I’m not sure how he thinks we can go after terrorists where they are if we surrender and declare defeat, but hasn’t the president often said that the reason we are in Iraq is to do just what Edwards advocates here?

Here’s more.

The Edwards campaign later issued a statement, saying: “We don’t need more political huffing and puffing, we need a smart strategy that uses American power to stop terrorists from hurting us and to stop people from becoming terrorists in the first place.“

Somebody on Edwards’ staff may want to check his talking points. Again, this sounds a lot like what President Bush has been saying for months.

Of course he took time out from supporting the administrations’ position on the war to prove his moonbat credentials.

“There is an entire new generation of young people in the Islamic world sitting on the fence,” he told reporters, and their status as adults “depends on whether America can change this dynamic that George Bush has created that America is a bully, that we are selfish and that we don’t care anything about what is happening in other parts of the world.”

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney had the best reply.

“Remember that old Edmund Burke quote, it’s a famous quote, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ And that, I am afraid is the boiled down version of what John Edwards said, is that good men should do nothing. Put their head in the sand and hope it all goes away,” Romney told an audience in Jacksonville, Fla.

The saddest, sickest part of all of this is that Edwards can’t see how clueless he is.
