Breaking the Iraq stalemate
Once a mighty war god, Bush has run out of tricks, troops and time. Will Americans finally rise up to stop his endless war?
By Gary Kamiya [2007-09-18]

  • Not only the President

    While it's obvious that Bush plans to pass this mess onto the next administration, we should take a look at the whole Republican party. Look at the near complete solidarity still present within the Republican congressional caucus. By appearing steadfast now, the whole lot seems to be playing for 2010 and 2012.

    We will leave Iraq, and it will slide further into hell. Then the conservatives have their Vietnam fairy tale all over again, and they can tell the world: "We were resolute and committed to winning. You voted us out, and now look what happened."

    The Democrats need to recognize this cynical electoral strategy, and call the Republicans out on this in the press and on the hill.
