Sullivan - THE TALIBAN IN RETREAT?: Here's some great news from the real success story of the war on terror: Afghanistan. Money quote:

"The US-led military in Afghanistan said on Wednesday that it had been contacted by Taliban members willing to lay down their weapons following an arms-for-amnesty offer by the US envoy to the country. US military commanders operating in south and southeastern Afghanistan have been contacted by Taliban members declaring their desire to 'join the peaceful political process,' the US-led military spokesman, Major Mark McCann, told a news briefing in Kabul."

I sometimes wonder how big Bush's margin of victory would have been if he had never invaded Iraq. Which, of course, redounds to Bush's favor. Iraq turned out to be a big risk for him politically. He deserves credit for taking it on. But that doesn't mean he should evade criticism for screwing so much of it up.
