Well it would seem that if Bush is unwilling to send in 200-300K troops to 'finish' the job and restore order to Iraq, Bush is unwilling to 'win' the war. Everything else is simply window dressing for the voting public.

He's already given up on a military solution for the insurgents and terrorists and that's in public. I wonder what they're saying in private about the prospects.

All in all this is a very bad year for the US Military. The world's last remaining superpower (yeah, right) can't defeat a handful of insurgents and terrorists in a third world country less than 1/10th its size.

This is very bad for us, regardless of how anyone feels about the idiot in chief Bush.
