More overreaction based on an MSM report.

I think it's their reaction to the Murtha flap and Cheney's speech yesterday.

At some point, we should expect to hear the voices of Iraqi leadership. Just like in this country, free speech sometimes says things we don't like to hear.

I'm not suggesting it's time to pack up and flee the Mideast. But we should expect that if we're succeeding, at some point Iraqi leaders are going to start asserting their leadership. That is, if we have given them a free democracy and self-determination.

Young birds have to try their wings at some point. Our position with the Iraqis will inevitably be, just as the Founders' advice to us was: we gave you a free republic if you can keep it.
