Follow-up

Continuing the thought from the post below, I think it is important to note that there is no reason- other than political- for now to be the time for a major re-evaluation of the Iraq policy by this Adminstration. If the strategy in Iraq is correct morally and strategically, as the Administration has claimed, then it should be continued. Nothing substantial on the ground has changed in Iraq in the last several days.

So, why the proclaimed interest in "new eyes" and possible changes? Pure politics. Now the White House is beginning to look ahead to the '08 elections.

Imorality piled upon imorality. Our government should do what is right by our people and by our troops, not what is politically advantagous.

The Iraq war is not right by our people and by our troops. And it has not been right since it was begun. But it clearly has not been right for at least a year now.

No moral credit to an Administration that will look at doing the right thing only after a "thumpin'"- to use the President's term- at the polls.
