He's not mentally retarded. I doubt he really believes we're winning in Iraq, or that we're fighting al-Qaeda, or that we either win in Iraq or we'll all be praying to Mecca five times a day. This man has access to intelligence reports and scholarly analysis. He's not just getting his information from FOX News.
As Cole implies, he spouts his nonsense because he knows Republican primary voters have drunk the kool-aid and he can't be the one to say the Iraq War is lost; perhaps he even thinks we can keep some isolated military bases there and hang on until things stabilize. He knows the prize is control of Iraqi oil, making the Zionists happy, and getting a military grip on the Middle East/Central Asia. I doubt he's worried the terrorists are coming to make him give up ham sandwiches. If he is, he's even more psychotic than I thought.
