I had surgery last week and ended up wide awake at 3 am watching CSPAN (so much for pain killers.) Anyway, there was an airing of members of The Heritage Foundation having a bit of a chat regarding the Petraeus testimony and their take on the future of Iraq.
One Michael O'Hanlon stated that it might be a good idea to bring back a dictator (Iyad Alawi was mentioned). Then he mentioned the option of "soft partition" and remarked that it might be necessary to "look on the bright side of ethnic cleansing." It was 3 am and I couldn't believe I had just heard that - even from the neo-cons. But if you click the link and fast forward to the 59:00 mark and let it play for 5 minutes, you can hear for yourself. rtsp://video.c-span.org/project/iraq/iraq091307_heritage.rm?mode=compact
