It looks like dubya has postponed debuting his New Way Forward in Iraq until January so he can put a little more distance between his big announcement and the Iraq Study Group Report that his announcement is going to ignore. This will allow time for the right-wing talking heads to both trash the ISG Report and create the perception that it is just one of many, many such reports that the preznit is giving careful consideration. Before deciding to follow the advice of the same neo-cons who got us into Iraq in the first place. The hard-core right-wingers who tell him what he wants to hear, that he can still win. He's going all in on Iraq with a pair of deuces.

The last two years of dubya's presidency are going to be one long, slow-motion train wreck. As soon as he rejects the ISG recommendations, old-school conservatives are going to start coming out of the woodwork to denounce him. Even Colin Powell has found his balls. He's another conservative that I once respected, but he sold his soul to the neo-cons with that WMD dog-and-pony show before the United Nations. The rest of the world didn't buy it, but I think it really cemented American support for the invasion. Now he's on Face The Nation saying we're losing in Iraq. Too little, too late Colin. The time for you to speak up was when you were in a position to actually influence the president. Instead you let a bunch of chicken-hawks with dreams of empire invade a sovereign nation in a vain attempt to establish a client state in the heart of the middle east. A 35-year Army veteran had to know this wouldn't end well from the very beginning.
