I don't see why Mr. Bush is holding out on this
As a practical matter, Mr. Bush has about a year to deliver a dramatic improvement in Iraq. If he fails to do so, his support in Congress will either evaporate or will be replaced in the coming election. Mr. Bush himself will certainly be replaced in that election, and his successor is unlikely to continue his policies.
Whether Mr. Bush likes it or not, he has a hard deadline coming up. If I can figure this out, so can the enemy in Iraq (whoever they are). All Mr. Bush is doing is delaying the inevitible, and doing more damage to the Republicans in the process.
