Can You Believe This Crap?

Michael O'Hanlon apparently testified today before a House subcommittee. Matt Yglesias was there to report:

Matt, blogging and reporting over a telephone:

[O'Hanlon]Totally backed down. Said the progress has only been against aqi [al Qaeda], that sectarian violence and the civil war is as bad as ever, and that the current strategy will probably fail. He thinks we should partition the country. Why the turnabout from the optimistic op-ed? He didn't say.

....

UPDATE: Sorry for the confusion this engendered in some. As you'll see if you read the posts below, that's my note-taking of Michael O'Hanlon's testimony earlier this afternoon before a House Subcommittee.
Let's see if nine large media outlets cover his testimony with equal fervor to covering his op-ed in WaPo.

Don't hold your breath.
