The common wisdom says that if we pull out of Iraq, there will be a civil war. The reality is that there is already a civil war going on in Iraq, it's just that no one has called it that yet. Insurgents are killing Iraqi security forces and police at a record pace, and the US military is all but helpless to slow it. Our show of force in Fallujah last November was strategically worthless, and is indicative of our ability to actually control the violence in Iraq.

My best hope? After the elections at the end of the month, Bush declares "victory" and we get the hell out.
