My argument is that that commitment is evidence that u.s. troops stationed in Iraq is a central concern of u.s. policy, abroad and hence ultimately at home. Those who deny this seem to follow the rhetorical techniques of the ID folks -- picking holes in any explanation offered but being unable to offer a positive explanation if their own. The support for the policy is too widespread and too deep for it to be blamed solely or even mainly on Bush.
