Steyn: Strategic Consequences of Iraq Debate

Mark Steyn opines for the Chicago Sun-Times. Today he writes about the impact U.S. political debate about Iraq is having on U.S. interests around the world. As one might imagine, Steyn sees the impact as negative:

As I always say, if you live in Tikrit and Ramadi, the Iraq issue is
about Iraq. But, if you live anywhere else on the planet, Iraq is about America. In Tehran, Pyongyang, Khartoum, Caracas, Beijing, Moscow, and the South Sandwich Islands, they watch Harry Reid & Co. on the 24/7 cable channels and draw their own conclusions about American will.
Read Steyn's shopping list of diplomatic and strategic horrors that are
worsening as a result of the Defeatocrat's sniping.
