Joe Galloway's editorial for the McClatchy Newspapers is well worth reading. The McClatchy group is the third largest newspaper group in the U.S., and has won awards for its groundbreaking coverage of the Bushit Assministration's attempted use of U.S. attorneys as a political weapon.
The gist of the editorial is that Dumbya the Decider squandered the opportunity to knock out al Qaeda in the Afghanistan/Pakistan frontier; now nuclear-armed Pakistan is teetering on the brink of chaos, with al Qaeda recruiting more soldiers daily. Petraeus is admitting that the political part of the surge in Iraq - - national reconcilliation - - is not succeeding. What Dumbya has left for his successor is an impossible situation, where we've chosen the wrong battlefield against our most dangerous enemy.
