More wishful thinking from Andrew Sullivan on Iraq. He says we should secure Baghdad. He’s right, but that’s really not the point. This Administration will not do what is necessary to win the war. They didn’t plan on doing the necessary work, they didn’t impose order when chaos developed after the war, and they have never acknowledged the gross failures of this policy.
Other than minor adjustments, which usually have come way too late, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have never faced up to the fiasco they created. As long as they are running things, with a free pass from the GOP Congress, nothing will change.
