Don't Kid Yourself
Anyone who believes that reality -- in Iraq or in the voting booth -- will deter the Bush Administration from its goals in Iraq (whatever they may be) is sadly misunderestimating him and his advisors.
They have no intention of "changing course" in the way that the majority of Americans expect them to.
What they've decided, up there in the Imperial Palace, is that Rumsfeld blew the execution of the war -- not that the policy itself was wrong. So they dumped him, and will send more troops.
He's going to ramp it up, folks, not down. As longs as he's physically and legally able, he will press this war forward, escalating it as necessary.
And if somewhere along the line a Democratic Congress stops him, he and his gang will slink back to the right-wing think tanks from which they came, to write white papers on "how the Democrats changed course and cost us Iraq".
Sound familiar? Bet on it.
