Gregory Rodriguez: The Iraq War Won't Save Liberals

Arguments continue to be made that a national concensus needs to emerge on Iraq and then liberals can embrace it and propose universal health care and other very popular liberal programs. A national concensus is emerging on Iraq - the American people want us out as soon as possible, keeping Iraq relatively stable is a secondary objective. GOP warhawks don't like that policy and want to broaden the war to Islamic countries and groups that do not support the President, and to anyone else the President and his hawks declare is evil. Attacks on Iran and Syria remain highly probable while Bush is in office.
