William F. Buckley On Iraq: "It Didn't Work"

Last week it was Francis Fukuyama and Bill O'Reilly. And now it is William F. Buckley who has admitted failure in Iraq:

Our mission has failed because Iraqi animosities have proved uncontainable by an invading army of 130,000 Americans. The great human reserves that call for civil life haven't proved strong enough. No doubt they are latently there, but they have not been able to contend against the ice men who move about in the shadows with bombs and grenades and pistols.

It's time to get out of there. Unfortunately, Bush has staked his entire presidency on his Iraq policy, so I'm not expecting an American withdrawal anytime soon.
