It's a lost cause and he knows it. He is just trying to save face with a Hail Mary to curb domestic violence with overwhelming force.
If he can show some acceptable measure of success in snuffing the Civil War that will give justification for continuing the occupation indefinably even if and as the Democrats gain the White House in 08.
That outcome is light years away from his objective going in but in his current situation it is the only straw left for him to grasp.
How they plan to finance an extended occupation on the heals of driving a civil war underground with a military stretched to the limit embedded in an overwhelming population majority with religious allegiance with Iran in deference to the West remains to be seen.
Oil revenues I suppose . An occupying army financing itself with resources that belong to the occupied population, not a very pretty picture is it?

Well he has to know that it isn't going to end well...or at all. But the reason he got elected twice is because he doesn't faulter, he always stays true to the path. He won't ever admit that he was wrong, and saying out loud that the situation in Iraq is bad...that would mean that he was wrong. No...there is no way he can think the war in Iraq is going well..but what does he have to lose? His children aren't over there, Cheney and him are growing richer by the day, and it's not like we can elect him again anyway.

There are 2 scenarios. Either it ends after he leaves office, in which case it is no longer his problem, or the Democrats force an end before he leaves office, in which case he can blame them for "not supporting the troops" and for losing the war that he was that close to winning. Either way, Bush is a moron.

For Georgy boy, his involvement with the mess in Iraq will end in January, 2009.

With the Democrats being blamed for whatever mess he's created and having to legislate the taxes to pay for it so that the Republicans can beat them over the head with that during the next election cycle - that's treasonous in my book.

ROFLMAO!
Bush doesn't want to commit to any withdrawal dates for our troops because he knows that he will be out of the White House in 2009
So in effect - he doesn't give a Crap what happens there between now and then!
IMPEACH THE BA$TARD!

I'm sure he is aware that this terrible situation will not be resolved while he is in office and it will be up to the next administration to try to somehow clean up the mess that he and Cheney have made.
