Kicking the Can Down the Road

This is an interesting analysis of what Bush will do if the surge doesn't work, which it does not appear to be doing. I think the fundamental thinking on the part of the Bush administration at this point is, "how can we keep this thing going until we are out of office and it is someone else's problem." The beauty of this is that they can then sit in their armchairs and say, "if we were in charge, we would have won."
