A state of desperation and denial in the White House

If this man, Bush, had the last name, "Kennedy," he would have been dead years ago. He has betrayed, not only the CIA, but the military and many career specialists at the State Department and elsewhere, around Washington, DC.

What's more he has betrayed the people of this country in ways that cannot be forgiven by the people of a Democracy. Let him seek absolution with his God, because it won't/can't come from the electorate.

Sending in another 20,000 or 30,000 troups is not anything new. Doesn't he do this everytime someone in Iraq sticks their finger in purple ink?

Does anyone really believe that more troops will change anything now, other than John McCain, of course. I hate to be the one to ay this, but McCain did not spend much more time than Bush, actually, fighting a war. He spent just about his entire time in Vietnam, sitting in the Hanoi Hilton, which was horrible, but being a POW is not the same thing as being on the ground, in battle.

Where are they going to get the troops? They have already started accepting gang members, as long as they don't have too many tattoos, American militia types (hate groups), people with drug problems and folks with low double digit IQs.

Salt Lake Tribune - Galloway: A state of desperation and denial in the White House:

The power brokers in Washington spent the week carefully arranging fig leaves and tasteful screens to cover the emperor's nakedness while he was busy pretending to listen hard to everyone with an opinion about Iraq while hearing nothing.

Sometime early in the new year, President Bush will go on national television to tell a disgruntled American public what he's decided should be done to salvage ''victory'' from the jaws of certain defeat in the war he started.

The word on the street, or in the Pentagon rings, is that he'll choose to beef up American forces on the ground in Iraq by 20,000 to 30,000 troops by various sleight-of-hand maneuvers - extending the combat tours of soldiers and Marines who are nearing an end to their second or third year in hell and accelerating the shipment of others into that hell - and send them into the bloody streets of Baghdad.
