I get the feeling based on your other comments you are an optimist for our future. So you think that even though there have been several instances of behavior that could be investigated, yet weren't, this one will tip the scales?

Also, I'm curious how you feel about some of the Iraq analysis' coming out now. I read Tom Clancy's book co-authored by Zinni. I found Zinni to be a forthright kind of guy then. I didn't understand why he called for Rumsfeld's resignation last Sunday.

But the article in this weeks New Yorker goes into a rather indepth analysis of why a majority of the failures in Iraq can be directly blamed on Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld's decisions have put our troops in harms way. He has done this by creating policies that have emboldened the insurgency. These strategies are a direct result of his failure to recognize the insurgency as such.

Once you recognize you have an insurgency to deal with, your war strategy must change. According to a document written in the UK a while back when they had to deal with an insurgency, your strategy should consist of a 20% military, 80% political solution.

This is what Murtha is proposing when he asked for a complete withdrawl of all troops. I don't know if any of the conservative sites you read discuss Murtha, but today on Huffingtonpost is the text of a speech he gave yesterday. It calls for withdrawing all troops and assembling them as a massive force outside Iraq.

Then attempting a political solution as discussed in the New Yorker article, where the US has had success in cities like Al Tafar defeating the insurgentcy. In cases where the political solution doesn't work, we can bring in a large force to quell any uprising.

This seems to me to be a good solution. But I know this will never happen while gw is president.
