Bush & Co. keep saying that the Democrats have no strategy for Iraq but what is THEIR strategy other than putting more troops in the middle of a Civil war without no exit strategy or time tables for the Iraqi government to take resposibility to protect their own country?

As usual, there were no incentives or demands to force the Iraqis to take reponsibility for their own country. There is no new strategy, not one that makes any sense. Bush's whole plan rests on the Iraqis all of a sudden becoming effective at dealing with their own quagmire of politics and competent at soldiering. It's a very neat way out for Bush in the end, since I think even he knows the Iraqis are not going to magically get it together in the next few months. He can blame it on them, say we tried with that world-weary countenance and claim we still did the right thing while pointing the finger at the Iraqis for the real failure. He'll never acknowledge that he failed from the beginning to have any real plan for the aftermath of this war, and like a naive child expected the Iraqis to fall at our feet swooning with gratefulness and begging us to lead the way to Nirvana. From the news reports I've watched the last couple of days it's clear the Iraqi government doesn't even understand what Bush expects of them. They made a pronouncement that we would simply follow their lead and be there to back them up - that they were going to take control of the situation and the U.S. was NOT going to be in control of it. Sort of makes you wonder where the disconnect is between Bush's rhetoric and their contempt for him doesn't it?

Of course Bush has an exit strategy for Iraq - the 2008 election. if he can get out of office without having to withdraw the troops he can just dump Iraq on the next president, most likely a Democrat. Then the Right Wing Filth Machine kicks into high gear, flushes the last six years down the memory hole and blames everything on the Democrats. And the worst part is, the morons in this country will buy every single word of it.

The Bush Administration didn't and still doesn't have a plan for post-war Iraq. Sending more troops will do nothing other than build more resentment among the local population. What we need to do is change our tactics from harassing the Iraqis to helping them.

No yet there exchange right into a approach to motivate civil conflict, British SAS have been caught in civilian outfits with explosives working example. And the surge exchange into not something better than a delaying tactic, there are greater infantrymen to appeal to-down now, and with slightly of luck we would be returned to pre-surge ranges whilst Bush steps down from his throne.

it is like a chess match. I think Bush knows it is hopeless yet needs to find a way to blame the failure on the Dems. If Dems cut off any funds he will say that is why we did not have proper democracy installed and we could not end the violence.

This wonderful scholar. Read his white paper. It is verbatim what Bush said in his speech. This wonderful scholar. This wonderful expert on Soviet politics. This wonderful fat faced piece of dog sh*t is the reason Clueless George thinks we can make these people who have been warring for centuries love each other.
This fat faced piece of walking vermon writes his little papers while other people go off to die.
Bush has no strategy.

The stategy is to secure the countries oil supply for america by installing a U.S. friendly government. Iraq's oil reserves are 3rd biggest in the world. How to do it is hard, because Bush didn't think it out when he invaded, and america hasn't been very successful in winning wars this century, unless you count Grenada, and Panama

Their "Solution" is to escalate the war, tough it out for 2 years, then dump it into someone else's lap in 2009.
Pay no attention to the thousands of flag-draped coffins being offloaded to ship to Arlington National Cemetary.
