Before It's Too Late in Iraq

General Wesley Clarke talks about Iraq in this Washington Post article.

I believe in listening to people's advice when they have a proven track-record of success. To break it down, he says:

Going into Iraq was a mistake.
Pulling out now would be a mistake.
Here's a plan to tame the mess.

I think he's a little too callous about saying that casualties are leading to calls for ending the quagmire. I think reason number one more Americans want us out of Iraq is they now realize every reason articulated for going into Iraq was a bald-faced lie. Number two, I think, is the fact that Iraq did not and does not now pose a threat to America except in Dick Cheney's wildest nightmares. Number three, I think, are the mounting casualties. Reason number four has to be that everyone can see the plan sucks and what staying the mistake will yield.

Americans fight like hell when the threat is real and nobody ought to make light of that fact.

So, on with the actual plan...
