"Follow the Exit Signs"

That's the title of this Washington Post piece by Sen. Robert Byrd. Notably:

It's clear that the war in Iraq should never have been fought. The administration's claims on which we went to war simply are not true. In seeking to stop Saddam Hussein, we have created a vortex of violence. In rushing to act without the strong support of the community of nations, America is isolated, and our few allies are targets.

However, of course, we can't just pull out. We need to do everything possible to hand this off in a way where we can try to fix some of what we've damaged - water, electricity, hospitals, and not killing so many women and children would be really nice, too. But we can't hand this off to Chalabi who has no one's respect but perhaps a few stalwarts in the Bush Administration. I doubt Jordan would be too happy about that arrangement either.
