St. John Makes a Call
McFalwell says the next half to full Friedman will tell in Iraq.

It's really a very good thing that most of these guys don't run real businesses or have serious gambling habits. If so, and they applied these types of drop-dead deadlines, they've be broke in short order.

The emerging CW seems to be to send in 30,000 more guys into that hellhole of Iraq. The other option of beginning withdrawal seems highly unlikely to pass Bush's, Boltin' Joe and St. John's smell test. If Dems sign on to this craziness, they will have sold out a large portion of their mandate and joined the ranks of Lyndon Baines Johnson as foreign policy experts. If any of us thought that this election would mean a significant change in Iraq policy, we were badly mistaken. Two more years for the Republicans to prove, yet again, that Americans know well how to overestimate the use of military power.

Iraq will be the signature issue of the 2008 election ... again. This is so sad for the soldiers and their families who have to pay the ultimate prices for the vanity and stubborness of our political leaders.
