Never Too Late

Virginia’s Senator John Warner, now age 80, is expressing regret over the war. The Vietnam War. Warner said this in a recent interview:“…Month after month. Another 10 or 15 thousand. They thought they could win it. We kept surging…It didn’t work. I regret not being more outspoken in those days.”

Warner, along with Senator Hagel, is one of the few Republicans willing to stand up to Bush and the escalation of the war in Iraq. Bush, quite obviously doesn’t learn from history. Has never and, by all indications, will never. Warner, on the other hand clearly does: “Well, you don’t forget something like that. No. You don’t forget those things.”
