The new approach

Wretchard at Belmont Club speculates on the real purpose of Rumsfeld's visit to Iraq last week. He says it was part of a restructuring of the military there with one branch focusing governing and the other on winning the fight.

I think that Rumsfeld's training wheels analogy makes sense if we're going to succeed in building a democracy. The change may signal that the administration is aware of the confusing messages we're getting here at home and the need to clarify what's going on. I sure hope they can get the vision thing cleared up soon.
