If Bush and his war buddies are considered sane, we should all pursue insanity. George W. has left realism far behind; Iraq has become a bloody quagmire. There was no rhyme or reason for the invasion of Iraq except a faulty ideology and a GOP penchant to play the 9/11 card to the hilt.
This is a Republican war, have no doubt about it. President Bush is undermining Congress’ attempts to end the Iraq war. Republican hard-liners filibuster any attempt to end it and Bush core supporters cheer from the sidelines.
The war in Iraq will not end until funding is cut off, the American public’s clamor reaches a fever pitch or the “I” word (impeachment) is impressed firmly on Bush’s mind.
