My take on Bush's delay
re an Iraq Plan. While people are in the mall celebrating their holidays, there will be a coup in Iraq and Maliki will be replaced.

3. its all about bush* not the poor people paying the price for his him
I think maliki prolly knows his tie to the bush* regime will be, is, a death sentence. his job should have come with a disclaimer stating that

4. I think it is all about the presentation. Media rehearsals and scripting, so
that they can put on a program to "Move Forward Together". They are probably planning ribbons, slogans and a new round of flag waving and media hype. 'Murcans will love it.

5. They won't
Any attempt to win back the US population re Iraq will be worst than my good friend's ex-husband attempting a reconciliation. And that was really ugly.
Turn on Scarborough and watch the new polls from WP. They can't spin this shit any longer. Bush is fucking history. Nothing but withdrawal will work at this stage.

7. My take is he's avoiding the inevitable. He can't stand to admit
defeat, which is basically what he's going to have to do. Anything else will be met with a huge hue and cry from the pols, the media, and the citizens.

8. Given the sudden resignation of the Saudi ambassador
plus a few other oddities, we know something is afoot.

We also know Stupid can never admit he is ever wrong about anything, that he's surrounded by yes men, and that he relies on these yes men to interpret everything for him because he's too important to spend time reading it for himself.

We also know this whole gang is terrified of having a Dem Congress start real investigations.

12. yepers, incoming Dem Congress + SA ambassador leaving
equals "Something Is Up" and it probably is not good. So Caligula is waiting until after the holidays... the question is: Waiting for What????

Oh, and don't forget the impending meltdown of the Dollar, either.

I'm not liking these trends...

Have a Happy Holiday Season, everyone.
We may be shortly living in those "interesting times" of the ancient curse.

11. My take is this...
He wants to put the fog of time between the ISG's publication and his "plan" because he really doesn't intend to change anything, save a few soundbites.

18. He is going to send in at least 20K Troops into Baghdad.
He didn't want mass demonstations before the American x-mas buying surge.
