"Failure in Iraq is not an Option"
Unless we already have failed ... in which case, what do we do now?
Of course, if failure was not an option, should we really have even gone into Iraq in the first place?
Meanwhile, reading between the lines with all this talk of "Iraqi commitments", it's obvious we at least now have an exit strategy: we'll blame Iraq for not stepping up to the plate or some such. We broke it but it's their responsibility to fix it? Wow! That's a way to convince the world we're winners, not loosers, and that we're a force for good in the world, etc.
The admin is right about the costs of failure. Too bad we failed long ago. Of course, when an idea is as bad as invading Iraq was, what other options were there except the non-option of failure?
