More on lack of strategy in Iraq

Here's a link to the piece I did last week for Antiwar.com, on what the Petraeus briefings and other developments show -- that the U.S. has essentially no policy in Iraq but to keep the troops there and hope for the best. The next president is likely to have a mess on his or her hands. This is absurdly shameful, asking young men and women to risk their lives and (some of them) die so that higher-ups don't have to admit they made mistakes.
