I almost understand the rationale that if specific goals are mapped out under which we will leave, that forces might ensure those goals are met so that we leave and then they take action again. Almost. But what's the alternative, aside from "we have always been at war with Iraqistahn"?
The problem is that their rationale fails given the premise that the surge is there to provide enough security for the political process to work. If the violence abates because we have announced a goal (this makes the assumption that the majority of the violence is the result of a coordinated effort) then the political process still gets enough security for the political process to work.
right, right. I knew I was forgetting something.

Ack! You're right. And I just tested to be sure before I posted. Apparently the Ctl-V I used to paste got stuck in my brain.
I think Bush would do better to articulate a picture of what victory is. What specifically is the goal that we are trying to achieve?
Bush's answer to this seems to be either when we win or when we beat the terrorists. I don't think he has any specific goals beyond that.
I used ctrl and it worked fine. unless it was still on the clipboard from when I was trying a bunch of keys . . .

Except, you know, clearing brush.
I feel like we're being unfair. After all, as Laura Bush said on the Today Show this morning,
no one
has suffered over Iraq more than her and W. No one.

"Victory! It's what plants crave!"
(Please tell me I'm not the only one on the board who saw Idiocracy and spent a good part of the movie whimpering at how much their government resembled our own?)
Cheney is speaking at Brigham Young University's commencement tomorrow. There goes my traffic patterns. There has actually been significant protest to him speaking, to the point that the dissidents have organized and raised the funding to have their own commencement.
When you've lost Brigham Young University, training school of the some most conservative people in the most conservative state, then you should realize there's something wrong.
