Lieberman has an opinion piece today 2/26/2007 in the WSJ on "The Choice in Iraq."  I never read the WSJ's editorial pages because it's not good for my blood pressure but the premise of Lieberman's contention, trumpeted on p. 1 of the Journal was enticing:  We need a truce in D.C. to improve the situation in Iraq.  Lieberman's basic contention:

Congress thus faces a choice in the weeks and months ahead.  Will we allow our actions to be driven by the changing conditions on the gorund in Iraq - of by the unchanging political and ideological positions long ago staked out in Washington?  What ultimately maters more to us: the real fight over there, or the political fight over here?
If we stopped the legistlative maneuvering and looked to Baghdad, we would see what the new security strategy actually entials and how dramatically it differs from previous efforts.  For the first time in the Iraqi cabpital, the focus of the U.S> military is not just training indigenous forces of chasing down insurgents, but ensuring basic security - meaning an end, at last, to the large-scale sectarian slaughter and ethnic cleansing that has paralyzed Iraq for the past year.

How many problems can you find in those two paragraphs?
