When it comes to Iraq, getting anything sensible and honest out of George w. Bush is a real long-shot. He's always after one more chance, just one more. Who can blame him? He's become accustomed to getting his way with congress since long before he launched his ill-conceived and incompetently executed invasion and occupation.
George w. Bush does not have the decency to end his failure. He intends to keep it going and force someone else to clean up his mess and then blame them for that. It's the height of intellectual dishonesty but who could expect more from the Frat Boy president?
This time, however, even Republicans may treat Bush as the "boy who cried 'wolf'" once too often. Bush is gaming Iraq for the benefit of his personal legacy. For Republican senators and representatives, Bush's personal agenda imperils their prospects of getting re-elected.
The scene is set for a showdown of Republican versus Republican, with the Democrats egging both sides on. Has Bush got one more fight in him? Stay tuned. This could turn out to be a very hot summer in Washington.
