definition of a quagmire
If the definition of a quagmire is the more you struggle, the more you get pulled in, Iraq qualifies. It’s a loaded term because it evokes Vietnam. Sen. Joseph Biden, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the explosion of violence this week in Iraq reminded him of the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam in the sense that it awakened the public to a failed policy. It took a change of presidents and several more deadly years before America cut its losses and withdrew from Vietnam.

Withdrawing from Iraq now is not an option, leaders in both parties agree. But if it is a quagmire, what is the way out? “Somebody has to toss you a rope,” says the foreign-policy analyst. “If we flail around on our own, we keep sinking.”

Who in their right mind wants to toss Bush a rope?
The very best thing Bush can do for this nation right now is to resign.
Since he is unlikely to do so, we have to wait it out and pray for Bush to flame out in a monsterous defeat in November.

Bush has proven without a doubt that he can not and will not win the hearts and minds of our own allies let alone the Iraqi people.

I am calling on President bush to do the honorable thing and resign (or at least announce a decision to not seek re-election).
