Bush's Speech

The President steps up our presence in Iraq, despite everybody's better judgment. Bob Shrum at Hardblogger has some comments on the speech, some of which are amusing and most of which can't be taken seriously. Nevertheless, he does a good job of pointing out just what is so frightening about this new plan. Witn no light in sight, we plunge further into the tunnel. At least this time Bush is telling us up front that we're going to lose more American lives. Probably thousands more. If we're lucky we'll realize it before we get to the 57k number.
