Yesterday, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, dropped a poo-bomb on White House and Rethug attempts to portray debate and opposition to the troop escalation as giving aid and comfort to the enemy. In his remarks to the House Armed Services Committee, Pace said, "There's no doubt in my mind that the dialogue here in Washington strengthens our democracy. Period." He also noted that enemies "don't have a clue how democracy works." That also applies to the White House and its Rethug supporters.
