In reading my thread title, it is a little disturbing what some on this board might infer. It does not mean I hope the situation unravels into civil war - rather, I hope Bush's image of a competent, decisive leader unravels as more and more people point out that he screwed the pooch in a huge way in Iraq. I think the most important quotes in the article are the critical ones from ranking Republicans that the war planning was pitiful, short-sighted and ineffective. In a perfect world, the Iraq situation will be resolved very shortly, regardless of who wins the election.
As for the Newsweek article, is your implication that the report asked for by Bush and prepared by the US government is not credible? BTW, I recognize the irony from both sides of the fence of saying this report is not credible. Finally, I love the phrase in Cow's response: "Got the conflict done". It sounds like a contract negotiation, very a propos at this time!!

The only thing I've seen from John Kerry is the "Nixon Promise," a pledge to leave in "due time."
Kerry says he'll leave Iraq by the end of his first four year term but that's about two and a half times longer than the USA has been there to date, even if he could pull it off in that time frame.
Having said that, it seems unlikely the Bush camp would be able to internationalize this even if its in the global interest to do so. I would readily concede simply changing the President might make that possibility far more likely.

Nope. I was just adding a further opinion to the mix.
