the president doesn't give out credible information . . .

in a recent op-ed piece, David Brooks of the NY Times and ardent administration supporter recently wrote a great piece on why the US should stay with Iraq despite all of the bungling. He concludes his piece with "Because the president doesn't give out credible information, it's no wonder Republicans are measuring success by how quickly we can get out; it's no wonder many Democrats are turning the war into a political tool to bash the president; and it's no wonder that people like well-meaning but weary Jack Murtha have simply given up."

early in the piece he describes the Sunni and Shiite factions warring with each other and how the Iranians are itching to come to the aid of the Shiites, the Syranians, Saudis and "who else" coming in to aid the Sunnis . . . . . . . essentially a total civil war.
