I am going to say until I am blue in the fingers:
The tactical situation in Iraq will be resolved when the strategic situation in Iran is resolved.
Al Qaida in Iraq has been dealt a severe blow. They are not the issue.
The will be the issue if the Sunnis are left to the mercy of Shia extremism.

Is it better to accept defeat than to endure the pain of trying to succeed?
No. Next question.

I agree with the premise of this article. I wrote on the same subject this week, and posted my column on FR first. See below.
Congressman Billybob
Latest article: "The Truth about the War"
Please see my most recent statement on running for Congress, here.

Baghdad can still be pacified, but it will require a change of approach and more troops--probably on the order of 50,000, most of them deployed to the capital. The author points out that the Army has been overtaxed, that soldiers have been deployed multiple times, that only stop-loss orders maintain current levels, and then calls for 50,000 more troops.

"The United States has two options in Iraq: stay and try to win, or cut, run, and lose. "
Precisely!
