NYT: "The Real Disaster"

from the New York Times editorial 1/11/7:

President Bush told Americans last night that failure in Iraq would be a disaster. The disaster is Mr. Bush's war, and he has already failed. Last night was his last chance to stop offering more fog and be honest with the nation, and he did not take it....In any case, Mr. Bush's excuses were tragically inadequate....What it certainly did not need were more of Mr. Bush's open-ended threats to Iran and Syria....Without a real plan to bring it to a close...There is nothing ahead but even greater disaster in Iraq.
