"Can you see how this ain't going to work? No matter how much money the U.S. pours into Iraq to feed the exile political crowd while it establishes what every nationalist correctly views as a puppet of Washington, D.C., there will be homegrown patriots willing to take up arms as "insurgents," i.e., freedom fighters, the men Allawi calls "terrorists." There would be no end in sight to the civil war now underway within this political framework, which is why Bob Novak could write last week that there are those inside the Bush administration who figure on pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq next year after the truncated January elections."
