Plan B

President Bush did a credible job last night in delivering his speech describing the new approach to the Iraq mess. As BestView has stated before, there needs to be a greater military effort without the limits which seem mainly imposed on them so as to not offend any of the disparate factions in Iraq. If the new troops are allowed to eliminate the sources of violence without interference, the prognosis is good because our military will succeed. As I understand the situation, however, this plan depends on the government of Iraq and the armed forces of Iraq to behave in a way is which completely at odds with anything we have seen out of them to date. We should know soon if the Iraqis are up to the task of saving themselves from a disaster.
