Charles Krauthammer at Real Clear Politics, on how shifts in French foreign policy and in Congress have strengthened the position of President Bush:
Bush's presidency – and foreign policy – were pronounced dead on the morning after the 2006 election. Not so. France is going to join us in a last-ditch effort to find a nonmilitary solution to the Iranian issue. And on Iraq, the relative success of the surge has won President Bush the leeway to continue the Petraeus counterinsurgency strategy to the end of his term. Congress, and realistic Democrats, are finally beginning to think seriously about making that strategy succeed and planning for what comes after.
