Wes spoke at a breakfast reception this morning to benefit Russ Warner, who is running for David Dreier's seat in CA's 26th district. His was the most persuasive argument I've heard for staying in Iraq on a limited basis, saying that there are no good choices at this point, but withdrawing immediately would be a fiasco. Wes believes we need to bring "all of our diplomacy" to bear not only inside Iraq but outside; not only with our friends in the region but with our enemies.

I've come down pretty hard on Wes in the past but he was very impressive in person. He'll be far more polished as a candidate in '08 than he was last time around.
