The fact we defeated al quaeda in iraq does not mean we had to topple saddam and thus create them in the first place. IF we hadnt gone in saddam and his sons queasy and sleazy would still be in place. I love both you and John. Its time for all three of us to be honest.
1. War wasnt necessary to fight al quaeda because there was no al quaeda there.
2. Since we did, todays outcome looks a hell of a lot better than last year and we should do what we can to encourage that good outcome.
3. That includes leaving as the iraqis want us to do in 2011.

This is not hard. You and I were surprised by the failure of rummy and the strength of the resistance. JF now cant get his arms around republicans taking credit for success in iraq because things are now better. Its a giant clusterfuck in which both the best and worst outcomes seem to be off the table. So we need to accept the best we can get which is both out by 2011 and hopefully a unitary federal state with some trappings of democratic govt. For all of us its like kissing our sister but its better to do that than fight.
