It's a joke, right?

Rick Klein at the Boston Globe entrances with Democrats embrace tough military stance:
After months of internal debate and closed-door discussions, Democrats have begun to develop a more aggressive foreign policy that focuses heavily on threats they say are being neglected by the Bush administration, while avoiding taking a contentious stance on Iraq.

Even Democrats who have been associated with liberal positions on international affairs are calling for more troops in uniform, proposing that threats of force be used to stop nuclear weapons programs in Iran and North Korea, and pressing for potential military intervention to ease famine and oppression around the world.
Gosh, they better hope the moonbats at MoveOn don't find out! And who's going to tell Gerhard Schroeder?
Senator Evan Bayh, Democrat of Indiana, hit the presidential proving ground of Iowa early this month to warn that ''people don't think we [Democrats] have the backbone" to deploy the military, and said Democrats must overcome that perception to be successful in future elections.
Watch out, Ev! Cindy Sheehan is headed your way and she's foaming at the mouth.
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has laid out a doctrine of rebuilding alliances while making clear that ''force will be used -- without asking anyone's permission -- when circumstances warrant."
What happened to John Kerry's "Global Test?"

Of course they're lying, but it's amusing that they have to pretend.
