Ah, wonderful! Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond of Missouri, one of George Bush's most blindly loyal Senatorial servants, and now he is telling us we had the wrong plan for three years! Where was he the last three years? Defending the plan! Yes. He knew it was wrong yet he supported the plan that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and injured! Some public servant eh? More like a servant to the party.
Now he is telling us we have the right plan in place. Don't believe him! He supported a wrong plan before. He is doing it again.
