I am so frustrated- it is time to get a new vision.

I am sitting at the Dayton airport watching CNN, as they talk about new tensions in Basra, Iraq. Their conclusion from this news is that this underscores General Petraeus thoughts that we can't leave Iraq, becuase it is unstable. Yet for the past few months the meme has been that the surge is working and things are calming down, so we can't leave now. The link I have for the surge is working is from the mainstream media's perspective, see George's question, since you were wrong about the surge...?

So the point of the media is that if the violence is reducing we can't leave, but if there is violence in Iraq we can't leave, so we can't leave. If you can't leave if A and you can't leave if not A, then you can't leave.

It is time to listen to some new leaders.
