Josh Marshal effectively boils down conservative strategy to shift blame for the current situation in Iraq off the President:
Why President Bush isn’t responsible for the catastrophe that has become of the policy he and his authored, planned and executed, more or less singlehandedly, for going on four years.
Bush is pressing to stay the course, or what ever he is calling it now, in Iraq until his term expires. Then, when the new President takes office and makes the necessary changes in Iraq, Bush can point to these changes and say “See? Everything was going great in Iraq until you departed from my strategy.”
Changes have to be made. Apparently Bush is content to let more American soldiers die during his term in order to eventually fail to prove a point. Cynical, tragic and disgusting.
