I predict that Bush will make some change of leadership in Iraq - maybe pull Petraeus and put someone new in charge. Then, they'll plead that we just HAVE to give the new guy his shot, a chance to solve the Iraq puzzle. To pull the rug out from under him just wouldn't be FAIR!

Iraq is an entirely different matter of right idea, bad execution. I agree with the rest of your post but I don't agree with the above. I don't think Iraq was a good idea at all. If you want to fight terrorism, you fight it the way the Brits managed this latest terrorist attack in the UK. You go underground and find out where the sleeper cells are and you grab them before they do something. As for Iraq, I think it has created more terrorists and more hatred for the West......needlessly. It is symptomatic of the lazy and uninformed, American approach to world problems........go in and fight a conventional war in a much weaker country and hope to win and solve the problem. We learned nada from Vietnam and Korea. And Bush was classic......an American president who had never been outside the US until his presidency. That pretty much says it all! The war in Iraq was poorly conceived and horribly executed. It will take decades to mend the animosity it has created against this country throughout the world.......and it could be our undoing financially. I am sickened by the whole mess.
