The end of Iraqi delusions

Moments ago, Robert Gates, Bush's nominee to replace Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, said that:

(1) We are not winning the war in Iraq.

(2) We invaded with too few troops.

Could it be we finally will have senior leadership in the Pentagon that isn't self-delusional? I'm trying to stay calm here, but maybe the grownups are back in charge.

And I can't wait to hear Bush's reaction. Stay tuned.
