And, let's face it, some of them suck. As I've written a couple of times, things are a bit different now that the message isn't everything. There are the contours of what is realistically possible, and people who to try to navigate within them. There are also people who try to change those contours. I applaud both. But wishing for a magic pony plan to withdraw from Iraq is no different than the hundredth article from TNR or WaPo wishing for a magic pony plan to "win" in Iraq. Our side has the Congress we have, and their side has George Bush running the war. Neither is perfect.
