Bush plans final big push in Iraq

[FernBell]

President George Bush has told senior advisers that the US and its allies must make "a last big push" to win the war in Iraq.

Instead of beginning a troop withdrawal next year, he may increase US forces by up to 20,000 soldiers, according to sources familiar with the Administration's internal deliberations.

.......

To the certain dismay of US neo-cons, initial post-invasion ideas about imposing fully fledged Western democratic standards will be set aside. The report is expected to warn that de facto tripartite partition within a loose federal system would lead not to peaceful power-sharing but a large-scale humanitarian crisis.

.......

"You've got to remember, whatever the Democrats say, it's Bush still calling the shots. He believes it's a matter of political will … and he's going to stick with it," a former Administration official said. "He (Bush) is in a state of denial about Iraq. Nobody else is any more. But he is. But he knows he's got less than a year, maybe six months, to make it work. If it fails, I expect the withdrawal process to begin next fall."

2. The Iraqi Resistance will kill lots more young soldiers

Thousands of Iraqi children will be killed for the Profits and Blood Lust of the NEOCON's

And Joementum Limpmann (dino) Israel will revel in the slaughter

3. Maybe he will bomb Cambodia. Wait. That was another time. Another place.

Because if he bombs Cambodia then we will have riots on college campuses and then Neil Young will have to write another song about our youth dying in the streets at the hands of our own soldiers and I would much rather listen to Neil sing about other stuff.
