Andrew Sullivan quotes the same Healing Iraq post I did and points out the same Kerry position.

The first post in that entry also continues a debate started with that big PDF file I linked earlier in this thread. Sully was the source of that PDF. Belmont Club takes the position that it's too pessimistic. I respect BC a lot but I don't think he's got it right this time. I think the shit is hitting the fan. But it remains remarkably difficult to know for sure.
