When failure...

“Failure is not an option”

and success is not possible.

Someone should tell Bush that Cheney’s strategy in Iraq has already failed.

There is no way nor any amount of troops that a foreign nation can deploy to subdue a native population in their own country.

Especially when that nation is at civil war for the last 1,000 years.

It’s a total waste of American lives.

The President should now come up with a plan that is more likely to succeed.

How about the one he deployed during the Vietnam War.

Hide out in Texas while being engaged elsewhere.
He could send all out troops in Iraq to Texas for war games and surge a load more in on top of them.
That plan would work.

It worked for him before when the times were dangerous and he was afraid of the Gooks.
