Bushlings' strategy for victory in Iraq: ropa-dope!

Bob and weave, just keep dancing, make another speech, rebrand the war: National Strategy for Victory in Iraq. An unwinnable war doesn't get fixed by changing the name and repackaging a failed policy without changing it.

Of course, what did we expect? I doubt many people were expecting better.

The grand vision:

“The United States has no intention of determining the precise form of Iraq’s new government. That choice belongs to the Iraqi people. Yet, we will ensure that one brutal dictator is not replaced by another. All Iraqis must have a voice in the new government, and all citizens must have their rights protected.
"Rebuilding Iraq will require a sustained commitment from many nations, including our own: we will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, and not a day more.”

- President George W. Bush, February 26, 2003, quoted in the preface to today's "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq"

Question: How are we going to ensure one brutal dictator is not replaced by another? Hint: Life is just as brutal in Iraq now as under Saddam. Answer: Get out of Iraq. We can't guarantee its future.
