REFUSING THE KOOL-AID

Former rent-a-hack Armstrong Williams now says we should get the hell out of Iraq.

We cannot win this kind of war of attrition. US soldiers are dying at a rate of one per day. Meanwhile the rest of the world is having trouble supporting the United States. You cannot lead in a global democracy, if people do not trust you. It is undeniable that we went about this in a very flawed manner. We need to admit that. We cannot solve the problem of terrorism by asserting our will on the world. Meanwhile, the deterioration of Iraq continues, serving as a sad reminder of the failed promise of this mission, and the need to pull out.

In my last post I said that I don't think Bush has any interest in an exit strategy. But that's his ship, and here's another rat scurrying to leave it.
