Because it's either DOUBLE DOWN NOW....
OR.... Go directly to a War Crimes Trial immediately after his term is over...
But will the ability to kick in even more doors really win any hearts and minds...?
Worse, will the "new troops" merely be spread thin all over Baghdad...Thus making them better "target practice" for Iraqis most of whom feel that killing Americans is a religious duty...?!
Bush is getting a serious case of the Hitler Syndrome...
Wherein the only way to "win" is to keep on fighting...until there is nothing left to lose!
What is going to happen in Iraq in January is very, very dangerous to World Peace...
BUT PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY:
I wonder how much of this "double down" strategy was dictated to Cheney and Rummy by:
THE HOUSE OF SAUD, WHO HAVE EXPRESSED CLEAR DISPLEASURE FOR ANY "WITHDRAWAL STRATEGY"....IN FAVOR OF THEIR ARCH ENEMIES...THE IRAQI SHIA AND THEIR IRANIAN SUPPORTERS...!!
THIS IRAQ DEBACLE JUST GETS CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER...!
