The NYT angles to give Democrats the credit for the victory in Iraq. (Via Instapundit.)
Being a pragmatist, I’m willing to let them have it, if it gets them on board. Historically, Republicans support Democratic wars (Spanish-American War, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Kosovo), but generally not vice versa (Civil War, Gulf War, Iraq). If revising the history is the price for getting Democrats to support the effort, so be it.
