Is the Current "Fight, Talk, Fight, Talk" Plan Actually... Working?

Instapundit has a good round-up suggesting that maybe it is.

Interestingly enough, Instapundit quotes Tom McGuire approvingly, when he says:

All we were saying was, give peace a chance. And it looks like giving one of Saddam's henchmen a chance to deliver the peace was enough to bring these folks back to the table.

In other words, selling the Shi'ites out to terrorists was enough to focus their minds on the idea that maybe they ought to support us a little more before we made further concessions to B'aathists.

It's a neat thought. We thought it was such a neat thought we blogged it this past Saturday.
