It's true: Iraq is a quagmire
But the real story is not something you have heard

We're floundering in a quagmire in Iraq. Our strategy is flawed, and it's
too late to change it. Our resources have been squandered, our best
people killed, we're hated by the natives and our reputation around the
world is circling the drain. We must withdraw.
No, I'm not channeling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. I'm channeling
Osama bin Laden, for whom the war in Iraq has been a catastrophe. Al-
Qaida had little presence in Iraq during the regime of Saddam Hussein.
But once he was toppled, al-Qaida's chieftains decided to make Iraq the
central front in the global jihad against the Great Satan.
