I mean, we are always complaining, and rightly so, about the genocide in Darfur and the inattention to genocides in Rwanda and the Congo earlier. Can we really live with ourselves if we cast Iraqis into such a maelstrom deliberately? Great. So if we're not involved, it's our fault. And if we are involved, it's 100% our fault. In one sentence, Cole praised the Army for "keeping a lid" on the civil war; in the next, we're casting them into a maelstrom. Don't Arabs ever get responsiblity for their own actions?

Cole's proposal doesn't strike me as being all that original. In fact, I would not be very surprised if most of it tracks quite closely with the administration's plans. There might be a difference in timing, Congress will probably never go for #9, and #10 will probably prove to be a larger group than he envisions.
