Nice to see you here, Richard.

I suspect that it will be some ten years before people look back on Bush’s decision to stick with Petraeus’ plan in 2006 as the decisive moment in the War on Terror. When all appeared black, Bush made a bid for victory. It does him no good with present day writers, of course, but we will have won the war, so history will smile on him in the end.
