. . . and so does David Broder, who simply has slipped into utter incoherence. But let's read Buckley:

It is simply untrue that we are making decisive progress in Iraq. The indicators rise and fall from day to day, week to week, month to month. In South Vietnam there was an organized enemy. There is clearly organization in the strikes by the terrorists against our forces and against the civil government in Iraq, but whereas in Vietnam we had Hanoi as the operative headquarters of the enemy, we have no equivalent of that in Iraq, and that is a matter of paralyzing importance. . . . How can the Republican party, headed by a president determined on a war he can’t see an end to, attract the support of a majority of the voters?

Broder said:

[V]ictory in Iraq -- whether that's achievable is really doubtful.

Treason!
