No, I think the decision made was the right one. And I thought that on April 13, too. Thought I was making that clear. My problem is with the stream of rhetoric from the top that has nothing to do with what's actually happening. We're seeing the same thing now with these promises that Iraq will become fully sovereign on June 30. That's fully sovereign in the sense that they won't be able to tell us to leave, etc. Talking about how resolute you are and how we won't back down, only makes it that much worse when (predictably) you do exactly that.
