George Will on Ike Skelton

Conservative political analyst George Will spent some time with Rep. Ike Skelton this week and shared his thoughts about him on This Week with George Stephanopolous yesterday.

The topic? Iraq.

"I spent some time this week with Congressman Ike Skelton, a 15-term Congressman from Missouri who will be chairman of the Armed Services Committee should the Democrats take the house. He says the Battle of Baghdad now joined is Stalingrad midway. It's going to be decisive one way or another. And I don't see how it can be unless the government in Iraq insists upon having a monopoly on violence. It can't insist on that until it takes on Al Sadr. Al Sadr was essential to putting Maliki in power," Will said during the roundtable discussion on the show.
