Moose is half right

Marshall Wittmann thinks the Bushites are ready to cut in run in Iraq.

On one day, his Administration excoriates those who argue for a withdrawal from Iraq. The next day, the Pentagon is sending out signals that they are embracing the notion. One day the Bushies sound like General Patton, the next day they resemble Michael Moore.

The Administration’s defenders are understandably confused. What is the Party line? Is it "stay the course" or "cut and run."? It appears that the Bushies are spooked by the plummeting polls. They have panicked and now the precipitous pullout may be inevitable.

The Moose is right here. I have said all along that the reason the administration was so unhappy with Murtha is he suggested exactly what they planned to do.

But next the Moose goes of course and is dead wrong.

Democrats must adjust to the new situation. Rather than focus on withdrawal, the Democrats should talk about a success strategy. The Administration may be moving to the “left”, and this provides the opportunity for the Democrats to move to the “right” of the Bushies on Iraq.

Wrong Marshall; the Democrats should take credit for the plan, after all it was Murtha's idea.
