Dear Senator Lieberman,
Fifteen months ago, in an
op-ed in the
Wall Street Journal praising the Bush Administration's Iraq policy, you asked the rhetorical question, "does America have a good plan for doing this, a strategy for victory in Iraq?"
"Yes," we did, you answered.
Since the day you wrote those words, over

Senator, you had it exactly wrong then, and this week, in another
Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled "The Choice on Iraq," you have managed to get it exactly wrong yet again.
