We're now embarking upon the most important 6 months in Iraqi history. Really. We mean it this time.

Christopher Dickey has a disturbingly insightful new piece about the Baker recommendations and why they won't work and will almost certainly lead to more gruesom failure.

The methods of Saddam are waiting to be used again, by the Shiites this time, and we are going to end up supporting it. Won't that be a miserable irony as Hussein hangs from the gallows.

We will be paying for the childish, ignorant, violent incompetence of Bush and his disadministration for years, decades, who knows how long to come.
