Iraq: The Situation has Changed, but not the Debate

Editorial, The Washington Post | April 9, 2008

Reduction of violence in Iraq "so great as to be undeniable." ++ Yet partisan debate over Iraq continues. ++ McCain sees success within reach, while Clinton and Obama remain locked within the "this war is lost" prism, and suggest more resources for Afghanistan. ++ Neither party wants to hear Gen. Petraeus' "sobering but firm bottom line" that progress is real, but also "fragile" and "reversible."
