Novak and Luttwak

Robert Novak, the conservative bloke who outed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, wrote a column in the Chicago Sun-Times predicting a quick exit from Iraq during the (very likely) second term of George W. Bush. Since Novak is a partisan hack with Republican sympathies, this initially got me confused.
Until I remembered a recent article by notable strategist Edward Luttwak, who suggested that the USA should feign withdrawal in order to scare the Iraqi Shi'a into cooperation.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Remember me?


Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan












    I wrote a daily column in Dutch at Planet Internet.
