If you really agree with what Graham is saying, perhaps you should rethink your current position on where we go from here in Iraq.

My plan is principally based on a set of clearly defined milestones for the build-up of the Iraqi military. I believe Iraq is just another U.S. entitlement program...we are giving Iraqi's democracy rather them having them earn it. Also, as posted in the past, more troops to specifically seal the border.
Jon, I was in NZ hiking around in the weeks before going to war. I met prolly 40 Europeans, Australians, Russians and Chinese and everyone thought the build up was entirely concocted.
You can make a case for the war today, bush just changed it (again) in his Philly speech today to a war against foreign terrorists inside Iraq (see my plan abbove), but there simply was no case for "we have to go in RIGHT NOW back in 2002-2003." Why people bought it is beyond me. Nothing the admin said seemed to have any real credibility...still the case today.
