It is rather interesting the author summarizes very well the stupidity of his entire thesis.
"Readers at this point might be asking themselves, “Is this it? The serious answer to the mess in Iraq is to pull out in the hope that it will not blow up and that hostile states like Iran will help us get out more or less unscathed?” The reaction is understandable."
What is also funny is that he blathers on for hundreds if not thousands of words and then is able to summarize all those words with one simple sentence. Why didn't he just start of with that statement?
