A Real Plan for Iraq?
Paul Mirengoff does a decent job of analysis on a plan moving forward in Iraq (hat tip to Michelle Malkin). He clearly distinguishes between directed military operations and policing with a pragmatic inclusion of political sustainability.

I'm not sure I see a plan. I see a renunciation of earlier goals in favor of easier goals. That's not to say there couldn't be a good plan to get us over a lower hurdle. Time will tell.
I see your point. But, if the earlier goals are widely believed to be unattainable by military leaders, doesn't it make sense to make a change? The most striking difference I see in tactics. An operation specifically directed at a known target is much more defined than policing. It has a clear beginning and ending. It also (hopefully) lets our troops actually fight instead of all of this COOing crap.
