A few days ago I wrote a piece on the withdrawal of the last
American troops from Iraq. It was long,
bitter, and angry and I decided not to post it.
But it concluded with “we told you so,” and it’s a conclusion I stand
behind. So then I published it anyway.
Michael Tomasky has written a better piece on why the right
will soon start to publish accounts of how we actually won, and why it is Bush
who should get the credit, not Obama.
It’s worth reading here:
Or, if things go bad, it’s Obama’s fault.
Personally, I think the campaign has already started. Iraq’s government is splintering, violence is
on the rise, and people in and out of the country are talking about a new civil
war. And John McCain says its Obama’s
fault. He should have left behind a few
thousand combat troops. In another nine
years, we can take another look.
