Bush says "whatever is necessary", but will he actually do it? What is necessary is for the neocons to admit that making the unilateral decision to invade Iraq with what turned out to be bogus intelligence, either through gross error or deception, was wrong. And that we now need the UN to help us clean up the mess. And to go to the dissenting and unconvinced nations, and reach a compromise that will make this US invasion into a UN rebuilding. Period. What is not necessary is simple rhetoric aimed at stopping his tumbling poll numbers. What is not necessary is to invoke a link between 9/11 and Iraq that was never there. What is not necessary is for the Bush administration to be so vague as to the goals and plans of this occupation. What is not necessary is for Cheney and the PNAC crowd to cling to their broken dreams of a colonized Middle East. What is not necessary is for Bush to act concerned about our troops, and then recklessly calling for foes to attack them. What is necessary is a clear, concise, COMMUNICATED plan of what will happen, what it will cost, and when it will happen, within parameters. What is necessary is to get back to the original mission of finding OBL and Al Qaeda and destroying them. What is necessary is for Bush to be upfront with the costs, both in terms of dollars, effect on deficit, and ACTUAL casualties. What is necessary is for Bush to go against just about everything the neocons have made him do up to now. Is he up to that job?
