New York Times Editorial: Iraq War a Lost Cause; White House poised for withdrawals?


By: David Bibo

In an unsigned, 1,721 word editorial today the New York Times states bluntly: “It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit.”

Whatever Bush’s cause was in Iraq, the Times says, “it is lost.”

UPDATE/BREAKING: David Sanger reports in Monday’s New York Times that White House officials “want to forestall G.O.P. defections by announcing an intention to withdraw American troops.”
