The New York Times gets it 100% right:

The first words in their editorial, A Timetable Isn't an Exit Strategy are:

As America’s military experience in Iraq grows ever more nightmarish, it is becoming clear that President Bush’s strategy comes down to this: Keep holding to a failing course for the next 29 months and leave it to the next administration to clean up the mess.

That's been George W. Bush's life story. Screw up and have somebody else bail him out and salvage the situation. But for once in this guy's life, he should face the music and not be allowed to wiggle out. This time reality may not grant him his wish. At least let's hope so.
