…Josh Patashnik notices that National Review changed its position on troop levels. Which we did roughly a year ago when it became clear to us we needed more troops and the pre-surge strategy wasn’t working (here is an op-ed I co-authored on the question with Bill Kristol about a year ago). By the way, as Ross asked the other day, does TNR have a position on the surge? Would be nice to hear about it, if it does.
