Bush's final humiliating failure before the US leave

Iraq Forum

Bush is sending 20,000 more troops to Iraq. Anyone agree/disagree that this is going to be Bush's final humiliating failure (and he's had a lot) before even he finally has no choice but to understand that the US lost in Iraq a long time ago?

The troops will go home (or moved to a neighbouring state) and Bush can then be certain of being crowned the worst President in US living history, and Iraq is marked down as America's second Vietnam. Unfortunately for Bush there were a few Presidents to share the blame for Vietnam. Not so Iraq. It was his war, and his choice alone to start the war.

I noticed toward the end of Bush's speech last night, he said something to the effect that he also had "plan B." Then he said he did not want to talk about it now.

I have two questions:

1) What is plan B?

2) Why on earth has no news organization asked that same question? How can Bush slip something so provacative into a speech and nobody pick up on it?

Apparently the answer to #2 is that the news organizations all knew what he was going to announce about more troops and prepared their response without actually listening to the speech.

Is Plan B the partitioning of Iraq?

Mayor Quimby unveiled "Plan B" on The Simpsons. It involved moving Springfield 5 miles down the road. Wonder if they will do the same with Iraq?

-HECK!

Yep push it inot Iran and the circle of disaster is complete.
Let's be honest even if they asked Bush is not going to tell them plan B (It's really plan C lets be honest) you don't announce your back up plans to the enemy. Howevere Plan B will involve either blaming the left, blaming the French ( or all of Europe) or possibly calling an election and blaming whoever it is that beats Bush in a landslide.

Anyway is this not the most ignorant, uninformed idea that Bush has yet come up with? It seems that the Bush adminstartions answer to any problem is to point a gun at it. More soldiers won't solve thew problem for a few reason mainly that the British are leaving soon and Basra is not under control so the Iraqis will need help there, the other coaliton forces are leaving, the Iraqi army still can't work alone, the idea is unpopular in the US and the insurgents have not used ther plan B yet.

The plan to send 20000+ troops to Iraq.

I think the main thing that might be effective in Bush's added-troop plan is the announcement of a change in the rules of engagement. He said we will no longer be hampered by political influence from the new Iraq goverment. Well what took so long? It's about time we got rid of that imprediment.

It sounds like the new resolve is to fight to the death with the Sadr Madi Army and any other obvious militia. Again I ask what took so long?

He also said that the new Iraq government has pledged to divide up oil revenues equally. What is that all about? Does everybody get a check each month for oil sales?

Oh by the way, I suspect plan B is Iran.

Actually, I found out that Plan B is to pull back and let the Sunnis and Shiites kill each other; kind of like letting the fire burn out rather than fight it.

Didn't even watch his speech. Rather watch Elmer Fudd chasing that wabbit on the Cartoon Network. It's just about as enlightening.
