This is the title of a new article by Fareed Zakaria over at MSNBC. In it he talks about the problems we might face if President Bush takes the hurry up approach for political reasons.
"Putting more Iraqi soldiers and policemen on the ground makes sense. By taking care of routine policing and security, they will free up the American Army to conduct raids, pursue leads and fight the guerrillas. But the desperation to move faster and faster is going to have bad results. Accelerating the training schedule (which has already been accelerated twice before) will only produce an ineffective Iraqi Army and police force. Does anyone think that such a ragtag military could beat the insurgency where American troops are failing?"
Anyway he's got some good ideas, but it should be obvious to everybody that hurrying out of Iraq won't end up to well for us or for the Iraqis.
