Frustrated Dems
I'm not very happy with Bush (and I never actually have been) but I'm glad that, in contrast to the wishes of the Democrats and the "bipartisan" ISG of Jim Baker et al, he refuses to surrender to the enemy.

So who is going to fight then? Not you, Simberg.
So who is going to pay for this? Not you Simberg.

Are you paying to use Rand's bandwidth for your propaganda?

60% of Americans and 70% of Iraqis want us out of Iraq within a year. Democracy isn't surrender; in fact the last time I checked it was supposed to be our main justification for being there in the first place. Perhaps I don't check often enough.

An interesting fraction of the Americans who want us out of Iraq want us out because we're not fighting.
Bush seems to think that he can buy off folks who hate him with half-measures such as "we'll invade, but not fight". In doing so, he loses the support of folks who might otherwise support him. He's yet to figure out that such "compromises" don't get him any support from the folks who hate him.
Interestingly enough, the "Bush is stupid" crowd never figured out how Bush was dumb.

Maybe Bush won't surrender to the enemy because he hasn't figured out who the enemy is...
Sunni or Shia?
Mahdi or Maliki?
Kurd or Turk?
Suadi or Irani?
Sadr or Hakim?
Baker or Cheney?
Too many choices..time to clear some brush ;-)

This doesn't matter.
No matter what Bush 43 tells Robert Gates to do, Gates will then call his mentors, Bush 41 and Jimmy Baker. Then Gates will do what Bush 41 says and feed Bush 43 a line of BS about what was really done.
Bush 43 will stand tall and frustrate the Democrats but it will all be a Potemkin Village charade.

sounds like Bill White is supporting a paper president

Now even Bill isn't Democrat enough to be a Democrat.

Anyone who has clocked 100 hours in a deuce without killing themselves gets the benefit of the doubt in my book. I think we can all agree that his foreign policy can be described as 'criminally negligent' at best, but he's clearly neither a coward nor a fool.
