We've had plenty of shouting matches on the war; what we need are better leaders and more capable media.

So I guess, by Decius's First Law of Political Leadership, he is implicitly asking for things to get worse in Iraq. I don't know if I like that idea ...

You're kidding, right? I don't mean to suggest a causal relationship. Frankly, I don't think Iraq is tractable. Unless Iran wakes up tommorow and decides that their top priority is regional stability or the Sunnis decide they don't need any oil afterall its going to be bad as far out as the eye can see no matter how much "leadership" you throw at the problem.
