Surge Time

Last night, The President, looking like a horse player who owes too much to the wrong people, announced he was sending 20,000 additional troops to Iraq.

It occurs to Humble Elias that we are all paying a very dear price for GWB's tawdry Oedipal rivalry with his Father. Now, at some point in this process, the diplomats are gonna have to be sent in, when that happens it'll be under disadvantageous terms to this Republic. Coming to our collective senses now might obtain a better diplomatic situation as we slide towards the coming regional Shi'ite-Sunni Civil War, but believe me, Bush doesn't care one whit about any of that.
No, he has apparently resolved on a policy that makes him appear heroic to a bare 31% of the electorate, the rest is up to God.

Like Eric Alterman sometime sez Thanks Ralph!
