It
is difficult to see how the Bush administration could
have done a worse
job in Iraq, but on this insistence that the elections
be held in
January, they have got it right.  Hand the keys over
to the Iraqis, 
move
the troops out of the cities and into the countryside,
and let the
Iraqis take responsibility for their country.  The
coalition forces
should only be there to make targeted raids on the
terrorists, not as
security for the country.


* If the suggestion is that the US is pulling out or
something, this doesn\t sound like it.

I can see though how the US might want to waive any
responsibility for the security of ordinary Iraqis,
while continuing and even escalating military
operations in the country.

O.K.
