This short article in the freshly liberated Atlantic Monthly connects the recent threads on partisan politics and Iraq withdrawal.

We can assume that if the Iraq War ends badly, some Republican hard-liners, amplified by conservative talk radio, will accuse the Democrats of perfidy. The question is: Will the betrayal narrative find traction with the broader American public? In particular, will mainstream Republicans buy into it? Or will cooler heads prevail, so the country can heal and move on?

The answer, of course, is that it depends.

Interesting how this article frames the whole discussion of whether or how to withdraw from Iraq in terms of domestic politics. Doesn't it have anything to do with whats going on in Iraq?
