Over on Salon — where you may have to watch a brief ad to get in — Glenn Greenwald has a weblog post that I suspect rolls out a new set of "talking points" against the Iraq War. It's that the war is becoming overwhelmingly unpopular among Americans (that part's true) and that the folks lobbying for The Surge and "staying the course" are really only interested in keeping it going over there so they don't have to admit how much of a disaster their plan has been. I think Greenwald's focusing too much on the pundits supporting the war and not enough on the guy in the Oval Office who actually keeps us there (i.e., The Decider). But I think there's something to the view that it's more about not being wrong than it's ever been about being right.
