Instapundit points us to this fascinating editorial in today’s Washington Post by a major in the Marine Corps,
Why is there such a dramatic divergence between American public opinion and the upbeat assessment of the men and women doing the fighting?
The impression of Iraq as an unfathomable quagmire is false and dangerously misleading.
It is this false impression that has led us to a moment of national truth.
We can fail only if the false imagery of quagmire takes hold and our national political will is broken. In that event, both the Iraqi people and the American troops will pay a long-term price for our shortsighted delusion.
