He's right about the Iraqi politicians not doing the "heavy lifting" and "making the tough decisions". But, he seemed a little confused about what our troop levels should be. And his idea of victory ("...victory is not that the fighting will stop...") seemed a little confusing and a little dangerous. I think he's the first person on either side of the aisle to suggest that the fighting can be allowed to continue.

I actually like the embedding.
on a substantive note...
Shays says that victory won't come when the fighting ends. That's just plain stupid. But he's not the first to say something like that. Nancy Johnson said on the floor of the House recently that we have already won the war we had to win in Iraq... and yet, the fighting continues and people -- Iraqis and American soldiers, including Connecticut kids -- keep dying. So what is it that these Republicans think we are supposed to be working towards over there? One says that our goal is not for the fighting to stop. The other says that we've already won, even though the death toll continues to rise.
It's disgusting. For years these guys have been backing Bush's war and now that they are 2 months from getting beat in an election they're trying to run from it.
