Another church for Obama to quit?

Hey, another church for Barack to quit--the Church of the Holy Surrender to Islam in Iraq, whose holy sacrements are "No Blood For Oil," "Bush Lied, People Died," "It's a Quagmire, I tell you!  A Quagmire!" and, of course, "The Surge Has Failed."  Or, as the Washington Post puts it, somewhat less derisively[*1] :

If the positive trends continue, proponents of withdrawing most U.S. troops, such as Mr. Obama, might be able to responsibly carry out further pullouts next year. Still, the likely Democratic nominee needs a plan for Iraq based on sustaining an improving situation, rather than abandoning a failed enterprise. That will mean tying withdrawals to the evolution of the Iraqi army and government, rather than an arbitrary timetable; Iraq's 2009 elections will be crucial. It also should mean providing enough troops and air power to continue backing up Iraqi army operations such as those in Basra and Sadr City. When Mr. Obama floated his strategy for Iraq last year, the United States appeared doomed to defeat. Now he needs a plan for success.

Gosh.  The S-word.  Success.  In reference to Iraq.  In a prominent mainstream media editorial which is not the Wall Street Journal, Fox News, or Investor's Business Daily.  Wow.

In keeping with the general theme of religion, the phrase "there are none so blind as those who will not see" comes to mind.
