Confidence, Requiescat In Pace

My old high school pal and sometime neocon fellow-traveller, tells it like it is about Bush's plan for limp-wristed escalation in Iraq:

This is really either (more likely) a bunch of hot air (additional carrier strike group, destroying "networks", etc), masquerading as resolve (as Teheran and Damascus will likely smell out), or the beginning of a colossal blunder of epic proportions well beyond the very significant fiasco and disaster we've already witnessed in Iraq. With this team one can't really ever know, of course, a fearful reality indeed as we run out the clock until January '09.
