I'm happy to hear that at least one person read it. It really does seem to distill the obvious Bush non-plan for the future of our presense in Iraq.
Against this lack of vision and continued death and expense, a rational call for at least discussing a blueprint for handing Iraq back to Iraqis, sooner, rather than later, seems the obvious responsible course.
Diehard, as Josh Marshall writes,
"If we're honest I think what the president is saying is this: We're going to stay in Iraq until the place calms down and we can leave with a sense that we've accomplished something.
Isn't that basically the idea?"
Only one problem with that. We could be there feeding lives into the meat-grinder for decades.
Better get a plan for withdrawal and be sane than sacrificing our men and women because Bush is afraid of being called a loser.
