Iraq-war supporter Fred Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute on the next president’s Iraq policy: “No one would be so stupid to come into office, see what the situation is, and then do the wrong thing.”

Like say, responding to an attack on a terrorist group by invading a country that had nothing to do with the terrorists?

Or a pundit who continues to champion the occupation of Iraq long after it’s failed?

Of course, in the eyes of war supporters, the situation ALWAYS requires us to stay in Iraq: Either everything is improving so much, we need to allow a few months for it to work out or everything went wrong but we have a new strategy so we need to allow a few months to fix things. Anything so long as the balls stay in the air, and the troops stay out in the Middle East. The only “wrong” decision is the sane one, the one most Americans support: A gradual withdrawl.
