No Exit Strategy--Victory!

The jihadis in Iraq may hope that our internal divisions over fighting in Iraq will save them as divisions saved the communist North Vietnamese regime in 1968, but Peters thinks they are mistaken. Times are different and so is the president waging this war (via Real Clear Politics):

Popularity polls don’t wage wars. Nations wage wars, and when their leaders lead, when they’re plain spoken and determined and have a reasonable plan to secure the nation’s vital national interests, democracies fight well.

More bad news for the terrorists: This president is no Lyndon Johnson. He won’t quit.

The anti-war side can increase the cost we will pay in lives and money to win, but I don't believe President Bush will settle for anything less than victory in Iraq. I'm counting on this, in fact, no matter how insane the anti-war side gets.
