Today's Political Thought

The other day, I linked to this article by Fred Kaplan. In it, he explains in some detail the proposal by Congressfellow John Murtha for U.S. troop redeployment in Iraq. It's kind of an interesting piece because a lot of people are arguing about Murtha's plan and Kaplan seems to be the only one who actually read it. Whether this is the right course of action, I don't know but characterizing it as "cut and run" or some kind of full-scale retreat is just plain inaccurate. Based on the noises Condoleezza Rice was making today, it may just be the Bush plan with a different advertising campaign.
