The President sorta, kinda, almost took responsibility for the failure of all these years of US presence -- occupation, if you will -- in Iraq. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility is mine," he said while announcing the deployment of more of US.
Thousands of US and billions of US dollars will transform Iraq into a model of democracy, he says. The President sees this as "the decisive ideological struggle of our time" and the opportunity to assure "peace and security for our children and our grandchildren." Who's he consulting? Not the folks I've been talking to, for sure.
Mr. President, I'm not convinced -- nor are most of those of us in the US.
