A series of powerful car bomb attacks left 233 people dead and scores injured in Baghdad today--undermining Bush's plan to restore order to the beleagured capital.
Naturally, the military is quick to accuse Al-Qaeda of perpetrating such attacks to gain the sympathy of the Iraqis and the American people, but 99% of the time, the attacks are confirmed the next day to be carried out by the Sunni-led insurgency.
But what I learned last night on the next "America at a Crossroads" on PBS just gave me cold CHILLS.
All this time, I had been rallying for a withdrawal of American troops--hinged on the idea that this would calm down the fighting and dispose of the radical Islamic groups source of angst and power.
But I don't even *think* that we can withdrawal AT ALL. Not because we should, or we can't, but because we won't BE ABLE TO.
