Friedman is close to having this right. Bush's team must decide how to move forward to win the peace. The war was one magnificently. With many of the 55 in the notoriouss deck now in American custody, we must get Saddam and simultaneously establish security and forward motion.
"I don't know what Mr. Bush has been doing on his vacation, but I know what the country has been doing: starting to worry. People are connecting the dots — the exploding deficit, the absence of allies in Iraq, the soaring costs of the war and the mounting casualties. People want to stop hearing about why winning in Iraq is so important and start seeing a strategy for making it happen at a cost the country can sustain. "
