Whether it’s a light at the end of a tunnel, or a tunnel at the end of the fog, the Senate’s new proposals for Iraq offer a flicker of hope. Warner says he’s not critical of the administration, “just forward looking.â€? Whatever. The combination has a faint glow of bipartisanship, and more than a glimmer of leadership.

If Bush can recognize this and follow the simple path of articulating a strategy, and giving Iraq a date in 2006 when they must take a leading role in protecting their country, progress toward peace could follow.

That’s a big If.
