New York Times says out of Iraq

The New York Times editorializes that it is time to plan to leave Iraq.

It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit.

After that beginning the editorial goes on at some length about the various challenges we will face, from Turkey and the Kurds to Iran and the Shiite and Sunni populations. They even bring up the United Nations, noting how the Bush administration derided it.

With support eroding even in his own party, Bush needs to face reality. The American people long ago stopped supporting this disastrous occupation, and it's time to end the charade.
