Petraeus got it right, but his predecessors did not.
Iraq's "freedom fighters" have used us to help rid themselves of the violent, oppressive, bastards, that call themselves AlQuida, but still are a long way from finding common ground with each other. A lengthy, and bloody, civil war is still a good possibility.

None of this changes the fact that Bush was wrong to leave Afghanistan twisting in the wind, to run off and start another war, especially under false pretenses.
