Good Enough
Listen George. Listen to Colin and John on this subject of interrogating and trying terror suspects.
Colin Powell was good enough to serve two tours of duty in Vietnam. He was good enough to be wounded and be awarded medals for valor both times.
Good enough to serve as your dad’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Good enough to oversee Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
And he was good enough to serve as your Secretary of State for four years.
John McCain was good enough to fly Navy jets in Vietnam and get shot down over North Vietnam in 1967.
Good enough to be held as a prisoner of war for five and a half years. Good enough to be interrogated. Good enough to be tortured. Good enough to be bayonetted. Good enough to be beaten until losing consciousness. Repeatedly.
Maybe. Just maybe now. Maybe Colin and John are good enough to get more than a sound bite’s worth of your ear, George.
