Joe Klein asks us to let him "deconstruct" it in Swampland today.Later, he replies to one of his contemptuous commentators:
"This is good news because if the indigenous Sunnis can kick out AQI--a longshot--and this becomes a straight-out Iraqi civil war, Bush's rationale for staying will grow more tenuous, especially with Republicans. Not saying he'll quit, never that. But any defeat for AQ is a good thing."
Yep, that's some Good News From Iraq there, except it's, well, a "longshot."
Bigger Picture: The wheels are now visibly coming off the Bushmobile. (Sure, in Reality World it's been running on rims, sparks flying everywhere, for the last several yrs., but in Denial World it's not 'til the kids in the back seat lose their fear of Authoritarian Daddy & begin fighting w/ each other & Daddy that anything is considered to be slightly off.)
