The Washington Post reports today on the unholy alliance between House Democrats and Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez. You may remember recent remarks by the retired general in which he berated the Bush administration's Iraq strategy as "catastrophically flawed," leaving out that little bit about how he was the man that oversaw said strategy. At the time, we thought it was unlikely that the Dems would adopt Sanchez--again, because of his central role in the "catastrophically flawed" strategy that guided the U.S. war effort from 2003-2006. But as the Post says, "in partisan Washington, the enemy of one's enemy can quickly become a friend."

Still, I think the Danger Room offers the best response to this recent turn of events:

Dear Democrats,

Getting in bed with the general who let the Iraq insurgency grow under his watch--not to mention Abu Ghraib--is an extremely dumb idea.

Love,
DANGER ROOM

The Democrats would be wise to take this unsolicited advice.
