My new hero

Senator John Thune (from our neighbor to the West - South Dakota) had this to say on the floor of the Senate this morning (HT Laura Ingraham who had the audio and Michelle Malkin who live blogged the debate - poor dear).

"Update 7/18 1:38am. Sen. Thune is up, and he’s a terrific injection of energy and clarity. He takes on the Dems’ false “Afghanistan war is good”/”Iraq war is bad” dichotomy. Notes that casualties are fewer in Afghanistan because we have fewer there and because the main fight is in Iraq. If we move soldiers to Afghanistan, they’ll kill more of them there. That’s what the enemy does. The Dems don’t understand that this is a titanic war between good and evil…the problem is it is the same enemy…intent on the same objective…we have to fight al Qaeda every place we can…History has shown that fighting wars by committee does not work…” (emphasis mine)

I think I said something similar recently.....I'm just glad to see I am not the only one thinking along these lines.
