John Kerry gets Tough!

As reported by James Taranto (via CNN):

I hope we can all work together, but we've got to be tougher in our approach. I believe personally--and I've said this publicly--that you have to set a date for the expectation of when the Iraqis will take over their responsibility. And if you don't get tough and have those kinds of benchmarks, then they have an excuse to avoid it altogether.

Only the Left can be tough in negotiating retreat and surrender.
