Matthew Yglesias says the Obama administration’s policy of disengagement has succeeded as spectacularly as the Bush administration’s policy of invasion failed:
A perhaps true end for the war is currently scheduled for December of 2011 when all troops are set to be withdrawn. Still, nobody knows for sure what will happen if Iraqi leaders fail to reach a peaceful accord on how to form a new governing coalition. But to the extent to which this “end” to the war is in part a product of political spin, it’s also a clear demonstration of the fact that the Obama administration’s policy of disengagement has succeeded as spectacularly as the Bush administration’s policy of invasion failed.
