The New York Times' John F. Burns and Dexter Filkins (the 'lunatic in the parish') talk about the Iraq War (now about a 'sectarian war, not al-Qaeda') and this week's Petraeus/Crocker ('candid, conforms to what is happening') testimonies on Charlie Rose. Burns can se the first signs of a 'tipping point', but it's still, in General Petraeus' words, 'reversible'.
