I think it is ironic on how after all the mistakes and the quagmire Iraq has become, president Bush finds himself in a win-win situation. If he keeps the troops in long enough, they will be able to stabilize the situation until he gets out of office. Whoever gets elected or even someone else later on will have to pull the troops out at some point, then Bush can claim. "When I left office, things were improving in Iraq, and now you pulled the troop and look at what happened". Of course ignoring the reality that as soon as the troops are pulled they will all just kill each other anyway no matter when the troops are pulled. And if he is forced by congress to pull the troops before he is out of office, he can say, "The surge was working, and you made me pull the troops out and now look at what is happening" when it all goes to **** anyway. Since as log as you keep the troops in you don't really fail. It is impossible to prove a negative. I guess the man is no as dumb as I thought he was.
