Well, the Jig's Up

I predict that Bob Woodward's new book, State of Denial (see preview), will be the beginning of the end for the Iraq adventure. When a book quotes senior generals such as John Abzaid as saying they think the U.S. should pull out, there's no way in hell public support can remain for the Iraq War. It may drag on until the end of the Bush presidency (Bush may swallow the low approval ratings since he has no campaign to win again), but no one is going to win the next election arguing that the military generals who're in Iraq don't know what's going on in Iraq.

I'm not optimistic, but I really hope that Bush manages to turn Iraq around. Otherwise, we're looking at civil war and possible genocide there.
