"he’s going to go down swinging, or double down, in the metaphor du jour, on his macho bet in Iraq."

He loves that phrase "double down". It is artfully done, because you double down when you have a strong hand. Which he doesn't. A more apt phrase would be "double or nothing". Or maybe "a Hail Mary". Attempting a field goal from your own 10.
