Political Probabilities

[Bill Gold]

Can someone please explain what this hypothetical test is? What were the supposed questions/tasks?

In my (not so) humble opinion, the question of what Kerry might have done differently with regard to invading Iraq is pointless. We’re there for better or worse (I believe worse), and we need to pick the candidate we think can best resolve the situation and get us the hell out of there while leaving a sovereign and secure nation in our wake. International (read: French, German, Russian, and other thus far alienated nations) troops and money are needed to accomplish this. The only way we’ll get those troops and cash is by apologizing to those countries for our unlawful, haphazardly run, intelligence deficient, unilateral war and our overall arrogant and completely self-serving foreign policy. President Bush has proved himself to remain steadfastly wrong and unapologetic, despite mounting costs (over $225 billion), American casualties (1,040+ in Iraq alone), and civilian casualties (over 15,000 in Iraq alone), when it comes to our foreign policy. There’s no chance for us to succeed unless we deviate from our current Iraq/foreign policy positions, but Bush doesn’t want another reason to be called a flip-flopper, right?
