Bush's Plan for Iraq

After almost 4 years he has a plan? Or is it more of the same hogwash? 20,000 more troops will not be enough is my prediction, for control, a word which the Bush Administration has hardly an understanding of, is needed for security, and security is needed before any political progress can go "forward". However, since we can't even control our own borders how are we going to control Iraq's borders and cities?

If 20,000 is the proposed number of added troops it shows how timid this administration really is; and how lacking of a real plan they have had all along. You can't win against insurgencies, or guerrilla wars, by using half measures and our inability to cope with the insurgency encourages more to join the insurgency.

The Democrats should be careful in their actions against the Iraq war, for if they cause the U.S. to withdraw prematurely and our situation in the Middle East suffers as a result THEY will be to blame for our "losing" and not the Republicans.

The definition of "win" is still unknown. A "win" in my mind is one in which the insurgency is reduced enough for Iraqi forces to cope with, when Iraqi borders cannot be crossed by hostiles, and a sectarian government can govern the country. It would be a bonus if that government was an ally to the U.S.
