In Donald Trump, the dove and the hawk closely intertwine, sometimes appearing simultaneously. On a recent day the San Francisco Chronicle noted “his plan to withdraw all troops from Iraq as soon as possible,” only inches away from reporting his administration’s “demand for all U.N. sanctions on Iran to be restored.” The latter story concluded by noting that “Joe Biden has said he would try to revive the [no Iran nuclear weapons] agreement.” The Democratic presidential candidate went unmentioned in the first story, however. Joe Biden should do something about that.
Joe Biden, Don’t Let Donald Trump Run as the Antiwar Candidate!
As it is with so many issues, Trump has not really walked the walk on ending wars or bringing our troops home, but, he continues to talk the talk. And so must Joe Biden.

"Close observers of foreign policy do make the case that Biden is preferable to Trump on the overall warfare state question, but that won’t count for much if it doesn’t get past that circle," writes Gallagher. (Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
