It remains to be seen whether the willing architect of the "surge" -- the open defiance of the expressed American will concerning Iraq -- is more interested in defending against any actual threat to the U.S. from the al-Qaeda terror suspects they've allowed freedom in Afghanistan/Pakistan than he is in feathering and cosseting his destabilizing Iraq prize. We'll know, though, just how committed he is to keeping al-Qaeda "on the defensive" by how much he's willing to urge a more rapid exit of our nation's defenders from Iraq.
