He's gonna do it

Just about everyone seems to be convinced that King George's speech to the kingdom tomorrow night will proclaim a new "surge" of troops being sent to occupied and civil-war-torn Iraq.

Can anyone even imagine a more stubborn president? (Can anyone even imagine a more stubborn human being?)

Is he simply afraid to admit defeat? Or is he stalling so that he can just dump his mess in the lap of the next president?

The majority of the country just voted in November against this gargantuan Bush debacle that is now turning into a clone of Vietnam. A poll released today says that support for his handling of Iraq now stands at 28%. But the Decider is also a Surger.

In a saner world, he would be impeached tomorrow.
