So what do we do going forward? Obviously a "surge" of 9000 is ridiculous. A "surge" of 100,000 might make a real difference, but it's a big "might", and despite all the blather from Bush, I don't think US security depends all that substantially on the outcome of Iraq's civil war. And could we stop it? I don't think so, unless, like the English, we were prepared to squat there and colonize the place, and even then we might only delay it. It's time to go. The question in my mind is how to go gracefully, and if there is even a way to go gracefully. I do not know if there is. But that's what I would be exploring right now, if I were president.
