The simple goal of Bush's next move:

Josh Marshall comments on reports that Bush is likely to call for more troops to be sent to Iraq. He wonders:

Who's for this exactly? That is, beside President Bush, people who work for President Bush and John McCain?

If more troops are sent to Iraq, it means that there will still be troops in Iraq when Bush leaves office. It means handing over the problem to the next president, and "therefore" Bush didn't lose the war. Nobody else matters.

That's all there is to it.
