The Fantasy World Of David Ignatius
In a sense, we should be gratified that David Ignatius, in this column, the mouthpiece of Admiral William Fallon, is now writing of declaring victory and getting out of Iraq:
Let's assume that the numbers from Iraq are right and that there has been a significant reduction in violence there. Let's even agree that the Bush administration's strategy is finally showing some success. Isn't that an argument for accelerating the transfer of security to the Iraqis -- and speeding up the withdrawal of some U.S. support troops?
If that becomes the BushCo cover story for getting out of Iraq, so much the better. But Ignatius' "analysis" is bereft of reason and intelligence so one doubts whether he actually has good sources. For example:
