#2 The days of the light footprint are over. (Fare thee well, General Abazaid!). Now, we're going to break things.

I would like to believe this is Rove at his Machiavellian best; years of civil violence takes the steam out of the US wounds fluffy bunny stories, and he has everyone so fixated on the 20,000 extra troops that no one notices the shiny new can of whupa$s being deployed. And now the Dems are out on a creaky limb if the situation does improve. If the jihad is defeated in Iraq, it will be decades before anyone trusts them on national security again. This must have been his plan all along, the crafty beggar!
