UH OH...THE INSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENT

I recall (but have been unable to find) Sen. McCain essentially claiming we must stay in Iraq for the good of the morale of our ground forces. (Via Atrios)
...the senior theater leadership in the armed forces are committed to not losing, due to their perception of the institutional disaster that resulted from the Vietnam War.

If they perceive the stakes to be that high, then they will be glad to lie about the progress in Iraq, something we have already seen Petraeus do.
