Bob Kerrey, who served with honor in Vietnam, should not be confused with John Kerry, who liked to talk about it.
From the Omaha World-Herald:
Kerrey said that if the United States shows weakness in Iraq, it will "pay a terrible price."
"The forces of al-Qaida have demonstrated a tremendous capacity, and they'll use that capacity if we withdraw from the playing field," said Kerrey, a former two-term U.S. senator.
In the interview, Kerrey also had a message for fellow Democrats: "Just because George Bush said it doesn't mean it's wrong."
He also disputed those who say democracy cannot be imposed by force. He said the United States did so with success in Japan, Germany and Bosnia.
Kerrey is considering having a second-go in the Senate if Nebraska cut-and-runner Chuck Hagel, the Ogre of Omaha, retires.
Hagel, nominally a Republican, is considering a run for the presidency. Eww!
