This was just what I did not want to hear during the campaign. Counterpunch was a noted gutter of lugubrious malaise, but this was the most self-indulgent of their collective screeds.

The rulers--Heinzes and Soros and so on--are trying to correct here for a political establishment that has, in some regards, gone out of control. Johnny Kerry to the rescue!
The political significance of religion in Iraq, in Southwest Asia, and in the United States, where Christian Zionists constitute a significant fraction of the ruling party's base, cannot be overstated. Nor can the Bush Doctrine politics of macho-narcissism.
Kerry can't even go after that. His campaign has partially turned into a military-dick-measuring contest with GWB about service records, as if the war in Iraq would be just okey-dokey if the Commander-in-Chief were only a veteran with a pile of fruit salad ribbons on his mildewed uniform.
Well maybe Goff was just prescient, but that sure sounds like the tack the Swift Boat Liars used to kill the man I was backing.
So who did Goff think could win the presidency if not Kerry? What platform position on the war could Kerry have won with? Goff won't tell you. He won't tell you how to get out of Iraq on 12/2/2005 either.
