"I thought there were a series of these milestones that would in fact undermine the insurgency and make it less than it was at that point. That clearly didn't happen. I think the insurgency turned out to be more robust."

IOW, the US policy framework at the time was totally mistaken. So what have we done since then? We set a series of military and political benchmarks that haven't been met anyway, but if they are, they are supposed to create that sustainable stability or stable sustainability or some kind of neo-"victory" that will vindicate the whole charade.

This is getting very surreal.

Cheney admits was wrong about "last throes" in Iraq By Matt Spetalnick

I caught a bit of his interview with Larry King, in the midst of flipping channels while watching the Yankees. His comments on Gonzales were laughable. He supports Gonzales but didn't want to get in to the particulars. If I were Gonzales, I would start looking for an apartment in Texas.
