| 23. I don't argue what MLK said, either |
|
But if a few months to find a political solution will prevent a wider regional conflagration, not to mention a genocide in Iraq itself, I say we should take the few months and make a respectable exit. Nobody's talking about winning here, obviously, just not being entirely irresponsible about losing.
