The Belmont Club considers our current victories against Sadr’s militia, the President’s executive order against Syria, and the real meaning of the Rumsfeld/Myers trip to Iraq (they flew on the same plane for the first time). Something is up. It has less to do with the prison scandal, and more to do with some strategic possibilities resulting from our recent victories in Iraq and the region. Pay attention, and don’t let the Abu Ghraib post mortem confuse you.
