Answering questions from Anderson Cooper, Michael Ware, CNN's star war correspondent who has given reliable information throughout the course of this conflict, offered these opinions: 1) reconciliation on the terms envisioned for Iraq is impossible; and 2) a mismanaged withdrawal will lead to a bloodbath, for which the US would be morally responsible and responsible in the eyes of the world. The question is, of course, what to do.
Personally I'm starting to think fighting Bush is like pissing up a rope, futile and self-wetting, and that debate should turn in earnest to what the next president will do when faced with this unmitigated mess.
