The man needs professional help – he seems to think he’s William Wallace:
[T]his concept of stability has — in other words, that foreign policy ought to promote stability as opposed to freedom has led to dangers, and that the only way to solve America’s long-term security needs is to remember that the enemy that we face can only recruit when there’s hopelessness and despair; and that liberty has got the capacity to transform societies from hopeless societies to hopeful societies; and that this administration will continue to press the freedom agenda; and obviously, that freedom agenda is being tested in places like Lebanon, Iraq, and the Palestinian Territories and Afghanistan.
So, we’ve freed Iraqis by invading and occupying their country, and the Iraqis fighting against us are against freedom?
We’ve freed Afghanistan by abandoning the country to the Taliban while we invaded Iraq?
We freed Lebanon by failing to condemn the Israeli incursion of 2006?
We freed the Palestinian territories by cutting off funding after Hamas won free and fair elections?
That Freedom Agenda is something else.

Don’t you think Mel Gibson looks good in woad??

You might be interested in The Wounded Warriors Project. It’s a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness for U.S. troops severely wounded in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. It really puts a face on the cost of this conflict. Here’s a link:
