...about none of the above? It should be obvious by now that the Bush Administration's attempt to inflate a serious long-term conflict with the forces of radical Islam into a Global War on Terror has been a monumental strategic mistake. But there was little sympathy for figuring out an intelligent way to disengage from Iraq and refocus attention on the broader conflict. My esteemed colleague William Kristol, whose latest column appears on the next page, easily won the crowd with his argument favoring Bush's New Way Forward in Iraq, though not without a few bumps.

...essential conundrum of 21st century conservatism--the notion that smaller government is what conservatives really want--was betrayed in three debates pitting libertarians against traditionalists on issues like immigration, gay marriage and the need for an alternative-energy plan. By my reckoning, the libertarians won none of them.

After six years of tussling with others on Bush's national-security team, Rice has seen off her rivals and emerged as the principal spokesperson for Bush's foreign policy. Her reward has been to inherit responsibility for selling a failed policy in Iraq and salvaging a legacy for Bush...
