The politics of the Iraq War is incorrectly presented as a 2 sided struggle between those who want to stay in Iraq and those who want to leave. In reality, though, there is a 3rd side to this argument, one that has a lot of support amongst the national power elite. This 3rd force to a large extent shaped the Congressional debates over funding authorization and accounted for our defeat yesterday. Dealing with this faction effectively will determine whether or not we can get out of Iraq in the foreseeable future.
