Pace and Gates
I'm watching C-SPAN's rebroadcast of the Senate Armed Forces Committee hearing held today on the new plan for Iraq.
Words are a difficult means of expressing just how much of a mess this thing is. If there is no semblance of a stable government to which to hand the controls, how can we leave? We really can't.
But staying has its rising costs, too. We should never have gone, but we can't sit around and moan about that.
Smart people have to get a decent plan together, and fast. I don't want to think about what kind of pressure our Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are under, but they seem like able men who are doing the best they can.
That just might not be enough.
