Are we starting to actually win the war?

A first hand account of the battle for Ramadi would indicate that, at least from one man's educated POV, the Iraq war is winnable. Long article, must read...

Upside to losing.

George Allen has conceded, so it's official, the Dems run both houses. Regular readers know that I'm pretty pleased we lost. There may even be a silver lining for GWB... Immigration.

GWB, by all accounts, was pretty pissed at congressional reps for refusing a good immigration plan, one of the few good plans (along with Social Security) put forward by GWB. Recent news has higlighted GWB's meetings with incoming Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Could Bush and Calderon put together a good immigration plan along the lines put forward by GWB earlier in the year, and then get enough Democratic congressional support to puch it through congress? This could be the upside to losing for GWB. Keep your eyes open for it!
