#1 Whatever indeed. It's Iraqs problem. Our problem was the end of saddam's government. And that should remain the mission until complete. If Iraq can hammer out a plan to put together a government, have at it. The WoT must move on.

#2 im not sure that whatever and moving on is adequate. We need a regime that is at least enough of an advance over the old one to begin to create conditions for sanity, and to show tangible results that will contrast with stagnation elsewhere in the region.

Now Dubya's 'whatever', if this is true, can still be a good negotiating tactic - against Sistani who is probably playing bazaar games himself. But we cant just move on.
