"It might save the country."

Q: So which Bush supporter said it? A: None.

David Brooks in the NY Times discusses the Iraqi constitution with frequent Bush critic Peter Galbraith with some rather astonishing conclusions:

Yesterday, after reading gloomy press accounts about the proposed Iraqi constitution, I thought it might be interesting to hear what Galbraith himself had to say. I finally tracked him down in Baghdad (at God knows what hour there) and found that far from lambasting Bush, Galbraith was more complimentary about what the administration has just achieved than anybody else I spoke to all day.

"The Bush administration finally did something right in brokering this constitution," Galbraith exclaimed, then added: "This is the only possible deal that can bring stability. ... I do believe it might save the country."

Read on. Note that Brooks is right to say that when people as diverse as Peter W. Galbraith and Reuel Marc Gerecht essentially agree on this point, something unusual is going on!
