I love the logic in this question from yesterday's press briefing:
Q Okay, well, a year ago, the President said Iraq has a plan to take over security by last November. Now Iraq says maybe 2012. So in the interim between those two statements, there was this successful surge. So did the surge set back Iraq's plan by five years?

  • I am surprised that there is no more discussion of this number. I am horrified by it. They might as well have said - they will NEVER be able to take over security. Does anyone really have a very good understanding of what is going on in Iraq?

  • I think the Iraqis do. And by that, I don't mean the government figures or spokespeople, I mean the groups leading the various factions.
