Well, This is interesting

The Washington Post has a very interesting editorial today. The tone of the piece is remarkable. Although it contains the requisite gratutitous attack on Bush, calling his administration’s approach to Iraq “feckless”, it also is amazingly positive about the President’s performance at the latest press conferernce. It also ends with this sentence:

“But the president clearly has not lost sight of the enormous importance of the Iraqi mission, to U.S. security as well as to his presidency. Pressed repeatedly to say when American forces would leave the country entirely, he finally answered: “That will be decided by future presidents and future governments of Iraq.” Not the most politic response, perhaps, but one that shows Mr. Bush remains committed in the theater where U.S. commitment, and leadership, are still desperately needed”. [emphasis added]

Notice they are not piling on the “cut and run” bandwagon?

Betsy Newmark has a good take on it, too.
