Vanity

Is really the whole point for staying in Iraq now -- Saving Bush's Privates (please keep your filthy consonants away from this phrase). Building upon Atrios's well-proven statement that Leaving = Losing, the Decider Ditherer is finally set to give what some say is a "speech" revealing his not well-hidden policy of perpetual disaster on an even grander scale.

The BBC is reporting that Bush will set forth his E-S-C-A-L-A-T-I-O-N plan in the middle of next week (if all the present former Presidents remain standing):

Its central theme will be sacrifice.

The speech, the BBC has been told, involves increasing troop numbers.

The exact mission of the extra troops in Iraq is still under discussion, according to officials, but it is likely to focus on providing security rather than training Iraqi forces.

The proposal, if it comes, will be highly controversial.

Already one senior Republican senator has called it Alice in Wonderland.

They have another week to "create" a mission out of their asses.

Steve Gilliard also has something on this, and when it comes to Bush & Iraq he has pretty much batted with as high an average than any other blogger I know.
