 How do we know it is really an Iraqi Army rather than a sectarian Army? If it is not an Iraqi army, that really is going to put a damper on the notion of our drawing down forces. |
| If this opens up so we have more and more officers speaking up and blaming Rumsfeld and blaming senior civilians, then it is possibly heading towards a fairly dangerous civilian-military crisis. |
| It really does seem to me the war is stalemated in that the enemy, which has shown great resilience, cannot defeat us militarily, but neither do we have the capacity to eliminate the insurgency through military means. |
| My view of his problem is that the administration has repeatedly announced that the war had reached a turning point ... and each time, that turning point didn't count. What he needs now is to be able to identify a real turning point in Iraq. |

I think Bill Kristol ( search ) would be a good example of that. |

| There is a strategy for the insurgency, which is 'get out'. There is not a strategy to respond to a civil war, as far as I can see. |
| They weren't going to win the war, and if they left tomorrow, they wouldn't lose the war. |
