Well now who would have thunk of it

Could it be true? I ask you.. Could the ol stay the course and damn them torpedes Bush actually going to dance the Washington Two Step. Well I don't know about you but it looks like the question on how do you make an unmovable object move has been answered.

Yes, threaten him with his party deserting him and with the real likelihood of the opposition party gaining the majority and what do ya know? It can rattle even ol' "We will stay the course". Over 2000 of our troops and Goddess knows how many British, and our other allies troops dead. And still it was "We Shall Stay The Course".

Nothing seemed to phase him it would seem. Any question to rethink or even adjust tactics to the changing situation on the ground was met with same sneering contempt. None were spared even his own party members could catch it if the question was even proposed.

Now that November is around the corner and suddenly, My Gosh maybe we can have a timetable? Possibly ending a bloodbath that should never have been. A failed policy that continues to careen from disaster to body count.

Iran is now stronger in the region thanks to this policy and most likely become a true nuclear threat in the next few years. Yes, invasion of Iraq was a real good idea. As much as I hated Saddam. I totally hate the idea of these true fanatics becoming a real threat.

Is it any wonder that the republican politicians are running for cover? They can discuss the slowly lowering of gas prices all they want. An economy that favors the rich is not exactly a talking point. And lets face it the illegal aliens are going to have to dealt with in a rational manner. A guest worker program would only work if they were trying to enter the country and not already here.

Lets build a fence is more of a boondoggle than a response to stemming the flow of illegals coming in to America. But then that seems to be the only other solution that this administration has come up with.

So in the face of this? What was President Bush going to do? Why we can change direction on the war in Iraq. A phased or even a timed withdraw from the country suddenly looks real inviting. I don't know how it will be orchestrated, but it will be interesting and maybe even entertaining. Lets see if this President can do the Washington Two Step like so many of his predecessors.
