Bush's options "For President Bush, suddenly every option in Iraq looks bad," Ronald Brownstein writes in the Los Angeles Times. "To simply stay the course locks him onto a trajectory that virtually guarantees steady U.S. casualties and rising violence against international and Iraqi targets," Mr. Brownstein said. "Bolstering the force in Iraq with more American troops could increase security — but provide ammunition to critics who accused the administration of underestimating from the outset the requirements of reconstructing the country, while compounding the strain on a U.S. military already stretched thin by commitments around the world. "Providing the United Nations a larger role in the reconstruction would generate more troops at less cost — but give the Democrats running for Bush's job in 2004 a huge opening to argue that the administration was wrong all along to assume it could invade and rebuild Iraq without broad international support. "For Bush, none of these options can look very attractive. The real question may be which is the least worst option. His choice will reveal much about his style of leadership." washingtontimes.com
