    Michmog, that's one possibility.

    The other is that he'll wait till his successor is elected, then start another war for someone else to finish, and for which the successor will have to take the blame. That's what his father did in Somalia, and even at the beginning of that misadventure, people were publicly speculating that it was a cynical effort by Bysh to kneecap Clinton on his way out. Sonny boy may have Oedipal issues with Dad, but when it comes to petty meanness he's a chip off the rotten old block.
