CA 11

the task ahead

I'm encouraged by McNerney's reaffirmation of his stance on a "date certain" redeployment from Iraq. I'm not encouraged because I agree with his policy stance (I always did) but I'm encouraged because he's unequivocally stated his position and can now begin the critical task of bringing others to an understanding of his judgement. As I stated in a recent comment, I don't think he can get this done by visiting Iraq and then signalling a willingness for "more time".
