“I’ve got an idea for our Pentagon planners. The day I can land at the airport in Baghdad and ride in an unarmored car down the highway to the Green Zone is the day I’ll start considering withdrawal from Iraq.” – John McCain, telling it like it is. The one silver lining from Katrina – apart from the very heartening possibility that many fewer lives may have been lost than was feared – is that once we have seen incompetence exposed somewhere, we may be less intimidated from pointing it out elsewhere. I was a strong supporter of the war in Iraq and still am, but from the very beginning, I began to worry about how it was being conducted. I still am. When more conservatives and Republicans stop drinking the Rove Kool-Aid, or bravely looking the other way, maybe we’ll have a chance to get things moving in a better direction. The troops deserve a winning strategy. We don’t have one.
