Newt on Iraq

In a recent speech, Speaker Newt--whose opinions I lend a good deal of credence to--called the US occupation in Iraq an enourmous mistake. I'm not sure yet if I agree with him or not, but I certainly have become less enthusiastic about our chances of getting a worthwhile return on our investment of time, blood, and dollars. Only time (and a lot of it) will tell for sure. But I'm becoming more worried that our quagmire in Iraq will discourage us from taking the proper actions with respect to Iran.
