Tacoma News Tribune:

It really is time for the administration to start spelling out terms for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

As of New Year’s Day 2007, the United States will have been trying to beat down the Sunni Arab resistance in Iraq for nearly 33/4 years. That’s more time than it took America to win World War II. It’s almost as much time as it took the U.S. government to crush the Confederacy – a powerful, resourceful, determined enemy – throughout the South.

If the world’s most formidable military can’t rid a few Iraqi provinces of guerrillas over the course of 33/4 years, then – just maybe – there’s something fundamentally wrong with the American strategy.
