U.S. Not Winning War in Iraq, Bush Says for 1st Time
Bush chose a different term than Powell. "I haven't heard the word 'broken,' " he said, "but I've heard the word, 'stressed.' . . . We need to reset our military. There's no question the military has been used a lot. And the fundamental question is, 'Will Republicans and Democrats be able to work with the administration to assure our military and the American people that we will position our military so that it is ready and able to stay engaged in a long war?' "

I have seen this coming for some time. The evidence since the election has piled up higher and faster.
I see as President Bush's main motivations in Iraq the rapidly vanishing proposition that he can save face. Face. That's what's at most risk for him and I find that craven, selfish and cowardly. Disgusting.
