"While the nation debates what to do with the disaster in Iraq..." - I agree totally that Iraq IS a disaster. There will be NO military solution in Iraq - something Rep John Murtha told us ONE YEAR AGO and eventually The Decider will have to talk to Iran and Syria - something the Baker/ Hamilton report will probably suggest. Iran is now stronger in the mid-East thanks to the inept foreign policy of The Decider. There is NO leadership coming out of this WH; Iran, Syria and Iraq have moved on without the USA, and they are making their own plans.
