In a post detailing the twisty path that is Charles Krauthammer's thinking, Matthew Yglesias concludes:
And such is the war in Iraq as seen through neocon lenses. Mistakes are always in the past. The current policy is always working. When the mistakes are being made, those who point out the mistakes are tarred as near-treasonous. Then, after another year or two of pointless, futile bloodshed, it's conceded that mistakes were made in the past. But now we're right on track. And the liberals, once again, just don't get it.
More good insight from Matt on the Iraq mess can be found in the second half of his latest appearance on BloggingHeads.tv. As I said in the Comments for that episode, "I think Matt made the most coherent argument against staying the course that I have ever heard."
