The Training Wheel strategy makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe somebody should appoint Justin Logan to something and let him try and implement it.
I should clarify this though and say it only makes sense in context of the constraints Bush has already placed on himself. It’s self-evident that we need to set conditions of, and an expected date for, withdrawal. If the insurgent’s attacks appear to be keeping us in the country, it’ll sap their support among Iraqis so quick their skullcaps will spin. Thanks much to Bush, then, who has ruled this out. Let’s hope he voted against it before he votes for it.
