Iraq -- Success at Last

The headline in The New York Times announced Bush Hails a 'Turning Point' in Iraq.

Is this another "turning point" similar to the “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” turning point announced by the flight-suited AWOL trainee pilot president on the deck of the USS Eisenhower three years ago this date?

Or is it like the turning point that General Sanchez mentioned back in November, 2003. That’s right … 2003.

Or is it a great success story, as Cheney claimed, since the war was in its "last throes?"

So, where are we? The 2,415 dead can't answer.

Some of the most profound turning points in my life have been moments when, I later realized, I should have been watching where I was going.
