Josh Marshall on the Emerging Bush Plan to Withdraw from Iraq
Josh Marshall has convinced me that all the Murtha-bashing of the last two weeks has been about laying down cover to prepare for Bush's plan to declare victory and retreat:
". . . there is no debate about withdrawing American troops from Iraq. That's over. What we have is posturing and positioning over the political consequences of withdrawal. The White House and the president's partisans will lay down a wall of covering fire, calling anybody who considers withdrawal an appeaser, to allow the president to go about the business of drawing down the American presence in Iraq in time to game the 2006 elections."
