Will Bush sacrifice Iraq to save GOP in '08

Although I blame both sides of the aisle for Iraq, the irrefutable fact is the GOP paid dearly for following the leader in these past mid-terms. They were held accountable for their actions by the majority of Americans. They even tried to cheat in that election too, but underestimated the level of opposition to this war by the American people.

With every pro-war republican (except 2) losing their jobs, this country made it clear to its leaders this war must end NOW. We don't want surges, rhetoric, analysis and more lies coming out of Washington and our media continuing to admire the emporers new clothes.

I said it before the elections in '06, and I say it now before the ones in '08, the GOP is dead in the water. But do you think they get it?

Will Bush pull out to save GOP?
Posted: July 12, 2007


It is natural to assume, in these waning and war-scarred days of his presidency, George W. Bush is considering the similar predicament of a predecessor, Richard Nixon, as he faces decisions about Iraq. The president should consider that Nixon's Vietnam pullout led to the deaths of more than 2 million Cambodians. An Iraq withdrawal could cost even more lives.

On the other hand, the beginning of a withdrawal by President Bush could save the Republican Party in 2008 by removing Iraq from the campaign. He could still help the effort by pointing to the war against terrorism and the healthy U.S. economy.

No. I think Bush is still under the delusion that success in Iraq is just around the corner. He's willing to sacrifice everything (including the GOP) so that he has some kind of legacy, while being unable to face the fact that Iraq has been lost for years.

A legacy is what Bush will have. Unfortunately for him, it will not be one to brag about. He will be known as the worst in American history, and future presidents will use him as a yardstick of what kind of a president NOT to be.

Or, much more likely, we'll follow the average trend and every president will just keep getting worse and worse every term. Unfortunately, my imagination can give me an idea of something even worse than Bush, and it ain't pretty. Bush is close to Caligula, but we're not quite there yet.
