I hope against hope that we can find some way out of this in which everyone wins, but every day that goes by closes the window more and more on that possibility. In the light of recent events in Iraq, it might be time to reassess our strategy. George Bush, for what appears to be strictly political reasons, is sticking to his original transfer date of June 30, while it seems clear that the country is not ready. Inside the Bush house, it seems to me that they will do anything to salvage their re-election campaign, and cut and run doesn't seem to be off the table. Iraq is simply nowhere near ready to stand on their feet without us..they are damn near descending into chaos with us there. The media isn't giving Bush a free pass this time either, he's used the get out of jail card one too many times. He has truely and finally come through on his campaign promise to be a uniter.
