Kerry has just reminded the nation that Democrats are not to be trusted with national security.

Kerry just reminded the nation of why he's not president.
it's a bit of bullshit political theater, as we all know. but
this is real:

BAGHDAD, Oct. 31 — Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki demanded the removal of American checkpoints from the streets of Baghdad on Tuesday, in what appeared to be his latest and boldest gambit in an increasingly tense struggle for more independence from his American protectors.
Mr. Maliki’s public declaration seemed at first to catch American commanders off guard. But by nightfall, American troops had abandoned all the positions in eastern and central Baghdad that they had set up last week with Iraqi forces as part of a search for a missing American soldier.

Kerry might have done well to ask that, if the administration was such a friend of the troops, why did they abandon a kidnapped US soldier behind enemy lines yesterday?
