Norman Podhoretz on the War in Iraq and its opponents

Podhoretz has a lengthy analysis of the factions and their strategies for winning- in some cases by encouraging a US defeat. Creating a US domestic perception of defeat is key for some, as it was in Vietnam. So perhaps those who shout Quagmire! Vietnam! Quagmire! do have a point. What worked with Vietnam may work in Iraq. That has been my concern from the beginning: the antis will spin the news, and the war won in battle will be lost at home. Bush comes in for a fair bit of criticism, as he well should.
