Related to my earlier post: Why candidates aren’t talking about what to do in Iraq.

The main reason is that nobody knows what the hell to do about it. And unfortunately, our political environment hinders any real discussion: almost everyone, Democrat and Republican alike, is afraid of being tarred as a weak-willed terror-lover. That Slate piece describes some of the ideas that people have come up with.

That said, maybe Mike’s right and we need to just get the hell out of there.

Eh, I don’t frickin’ know. If I knew, I’d be president.
