The Incalcitrant President Americans Have to Live With for the Next Two Years

The gamble is easier when the money is not your own, and the lives are NOT those of your children and your relatives.
Bush has decided his is not to end the war, and he has burdened his successor with his failure.
Until that time, the soldiers can wait; they can die.

Bush is going to thrust another 20,000 Ameican soldiers into this darkness, adding them to the 132,000 soldiers already bleeding in Iraq.
Does any rational person in America - or anywhere in the world - still believe a victory, though it may tarry, is yet to come?
The question must be formulated differently:
Is Bush the stupidest president his country has ever had?A study recently published by the University of California, Davis raises the possibility that the president's I.Q. is particularly low.
But the problem is not one of stupidity alone.
Bush simply refuses to admit his mistake, a mistake that will relegate his name and legacy to the nadirs of history.
To save his skin, he is willing to sacrifice Private Ryan in a civil war that is not his own.
Beware of politicians like George Bush, who begin futile wars and refuse to end them quickly; from these boorish and arrogant politicians comes calamity.
Not for nothing are the swallows of Jerusalem hurrying off to the crows in Washington - they are of their species.
In adding 20,000 soldiers, Bush is like the gambler who doubles and triples his bet at the roulette table, trying to regain his losses.
The gamble is easier when the money is not your own, and the lives are not those of your children and your relatives.
Instead of setting a schedule for a gradual withdrawal, as most Americans want, more soldiers have been thrown in, as if they were gambling chips.
Bush has decided his is not to end the war, and he has burdened his successor with his failure.
Until that time, the soldiers can wait; they can die.
What is to be expected of an administration that hangs a condemned tyrant badly?
Can hopes be hung on one who doesn't even know how to hang?
