One complained: "It's cheerleading for failure and smacks of blatant support for the lefty spin that Iraq is a quagmire." Getler writes: "My view is that both this country and Iraq are at a critical juncture in a huge, costly and controversial undertaking and that readers who view the work of reporters covering this for major U.S. news organizations as 'lefty spin' are fooling themselves."
