The President needs to regain support at home first. He needs to reframe and simplify this conflict as a war head-to-head with al Qaeda, and that the Sunni/Shia conflict of today has been deliberately provoked by al Qaeda. We know that from Zarqawi memos.
Then tell the public we're killing al Qaeda every day. We're killing the same ilk as the 9/11 hijackers. That makes it simple enough to digest, even for a House Intelligence chairman.
This is a complaint that I've had for a long time. I believe that a lot of the negative feeling about Iraq is caused by the belief that our guys are standing around waiting to be killed. Body count went out of fashion with Viet Nam, but I'm nostalgic.
