Scott, Thanks for running down this Nicholas Leeman piece in this week's New Yorker. It's one of the best pieces anyone has posted to the thread. It looks as if we may well be getting a full debate on the Bush foreign policy wrapped in to the Iraq issue. Let's hope so.

Defining it as a broad war on terror was a tremendous mistake. It should have been a war on Al Qaeda. Don't take your eye off the ball. Subordinate every other policy to it, including the policies toward Russia, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and Iraq. Instead, the Administration defined it as a broad war on terror, including groups that have never taken a swing at the United States and never will. It leads to a loss of focus. Al Qaeda escapes through the cracks. And you make enemies of the people you need against Al Qaeda. Finally somebody says something that makes sense....
