#1 Too bad we can't exchange politicians for soldiers for a tour of duty.

#4 John Wroblewski understands the nature of war and this war. Do it to win. Now, how is his view communicated to politicians such as Pelosi, Reid, etc.?

#5 Agreed, TW. I'm almost beginning to wonder if the Brookings Institute column in the NY Times was a "tipping point" for the media. Not that they've suddenly "got religion," but that the writing's on the wall (we're staying 'til we win) and they want to be *out front* of the good news when it happens.

But, then, I remember it's all about Bush with the MSM and I sigh.

#6 I am a strong supporter of both intervention and the September deadline for progress. Baghdad could be pacified by booting the Shiites out of the south Tigris area, while leaving north river sunnis to their fate. If the leadership won't come to its senses by September, then they never will.

As it is, the finest US troops are re-fighting Clinton's Kosovo madness.

#8 I think the Brookings column could have been a goad to the rest of Big Media and to the Dems as well: we've seen what's going on, and you really, really don't want to be on the wrong side of a win.

A tipping point? We'll see.
