we've made real progress against the organized professional leadership of
al Qaeda. Everywhere else, we've lost ground. One reason we've lost ground -
both strategically, ideologically and politically - is because of the bungled
war in Iraq, which has produced the worst of all worlds: an ineffective
occupation that doesn't bring democracy, has turned the image of the U.S. into
Abu Ghraib, and has inspired many more decentralized and dangerous Jihadists
across the globe
A caveat. Andrew and I completely disagree on the need for this war. However, despite a few nuances, I do agree with him on the result and the desperate outlook it has caused.
UPDATE: Joe has stepped in with his opinion. Another worthwhile read.
