The extent of delusion in the White House knows no bounds. In the face of a decisive political defeat, Der Decider is about to increase by 20,000, not decrease, the number of American soldiers in the meat grinder that is Iraq. The moderates on the committee of grown-ups are providing his Stupidity with enough PR cover for one more roll before he craps out. From his standpoint it makes some sense, I guess. He is going back to the ranch in January 2009, win or lose. If he manages to cobble something together in Iraq, he will have done his party a favor and not gone into the twilight a complete and utter failure. Henry is telling him its the call to make.
All the fuzzy thoughts about regional dialogue, logistic support, and national reconciliation is for public consumption. Its still stay the course until the Boy Emperor can declare 'mission accomplished', sort of. What this exercise in mental masturbation does demonstrate is just how spineless Democratic leaders really are. My advice to the troops: CYA! It isn't over yet.
