NYTimes editorial on Bush's new plan

I normally don't like to link to editorials, but thie is the NYTimes lead editorial, and the tone it sets IS NEWS. The whole thing is like this, but I'll just put up the last paragraph.

That may be the most grandiose set of ambitions for the region since the vision of Nebuchadnezzar's son Belshazzar, who saw the hand writing on the wall. Mr. Bush hates comparisons between Vietnam and Iraq. But after watching the president, we couldn't resist reading Richard Nixon's 1969 Vietnamization speech. Substitute the Iraqi constitutional process for the Paris peace talks, and Mr. Bush's ideas about the Iraqi Army are not much different from Nixon's plans - except Nixon admitted the war was going very badly (which was easier for him to do because he didn't start it), and he was very clear about the risks and huge sacrifices ahead.

A president who seems less in touch with reality than Richard Nixon needs to get out more.

Oh, and here's how the Wapo's Howard Kurtz begins his analysis: "I had no idea things were going so well in Iraq."
