What do you think George Bush is doing when he says the next President will
have to finish Iraq?
If the Iraqi's can't stand up and fight this for themselves by January 19,
2009 then they aren't worth saving.
Just to clarify I can see some forces staying after Bush leaves office if
the Iraqi's have proven themselves such as close air support, SOF, trainers.
logistics and intelligence but not any regular infantry.
Bush has several reasons.
First of all, there is a perception that in times of war, people are
more likely to vote Republican.
Second of all, he knows that the mission cannot possibly be completed,
so Rove will have a hard time spinning the line that a Republican
President didn't lose a war.
Most of all, by leaving US forces in Iraq, Rove can blame the Democrats,
who are likely to have a President in 2008.
