Jack Keane Rt Vice Chief of Staff US Army and a close friend of Rummy says that the WH isn't in denial and will make some adjustments in policy that he hopes will get on top of the situation, but they won't say much about it in public. He says that Iraq could be the biggest foreign policy diaster in memory, far bigger than Vietnam.
If anyone believes some "adjustments in policy" will get "us" on top of the situation in Iraq, they are big-time in denial. The only thing that might change the situation is about 100,000 more troops on the ground and it is probably to late for that now even if we had the troops available. You know, the number Sheninski said would be needed to successfully invade Iraq, right before Rummy sacked him.

Keane is right about the foreign policy disaster though. The repurcussions of this fiasco are far more serious.
