.....Fred Thompson seems to be not just selling a plan to win in Iraq but to conquer the Middle East. Is this what conservatives really want? .....

Ac? AC? Hey AC?....... where have you been for the last 6 years? Fruit basket turnover has been the game from the beginning. The old way is already gone and the new way is being forged as you write.

I’m for FDT all the way, but I am starting to think we need a way to get out of Iraq, support the Kurds up north but let those other fella’s down south fight amongst themselves. I read Bill Buckley’s piece this AM and he makes a lot of sense and kinda codified the way I’ve been leaning here the last few weeks. I have no idea what will happen if we leave Iraq but I sure don’t want to tell everybody when we’ll do it and I want it to be in a good way. I think we could certainly claim victory for the autonomy and relative peace for the Kurds up north and that’s the route I think I would take right now.
