Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo has a nice piece on the administration's acceleration of Iraqification, with responses from Biden and McCain.
A lot of people, including scads of liberals who opposed Bush's war plan, take the view that we have to fix Iraq since we broke it.
So, next year, the Democrat candidate argues for more troops and more involvement in Iraq, while Bush/Rove argue that they are for peace and bringing the boys (and girls) home.
