If a Democrat is elected in 2008, as the NYT hopes, that Democratic President will have to face the grownup reality that we cannot simply leave Iraq on January 22, 2009.
The NYT is saying nowthat the Iraq can be won, so they can credibly claim that a Democrat actually won the war at some point in the future.
Spin: "After years of Republican mismanagement and failure, a progressive administration has figured out a way to win this war and bring our troops back home."
I’m waiting for the “If it weren’t for the pressure the Democratic congress put on the Iraqi people, we would not be seeing this progress.”
