Short Memories

(7)

I wonder whether the current mantra, 'As the Iraqis stand up we will stand down,' really holds water. Remember 'welfare reform?' The strategy - the political strategy - which pretty much ended welfare abuse was, in effect, 'As we stop paying, they will seek employment.'

The strategy worked.

I suggest a similar strategy for the Iraqi tar baby problem. It amazes me that the Republicans have yet to rediscover this strategy.
