Read this last night. Great article, not TOO biased. Best quote was based on a Senator in 1966 who told LBJ, "Declare Victory and pull out." Revised by a Bush official, "Declare defeat and stay in."
But a balanced article that discusses both pros and cons of an Iraq pull out.

Packer is one of the best US journalists writing about Iraq. Read "The Assassin's Gate".
