No he's not and I'll tell you why. In the first place, if we want to "win" this (which at this point requires the complete subjugation of everyone in Iraq and the surrounding region) we're gonna need a hell of a lot more troops than 10,000 to do it. More like 300,000 to 400,000. The fact that he's not sending that many tells us he's not trying to win.
But we don't have 400,000 troops, you say. Yeah, I know that, which is why, again if we want to "win" this, we need to reinstate the draft.
But Bush knows that if he does that all of a sudden he's gonna have major problems on his hands, and might even get kicked out of office. Americans aren't nearly pissed off enough about this situation, but if they were handed a rifle and an MRE and were forced to go die for nothing, I bet that would change.
Bush therefore knows at this point that this thing is not winnable. His only goal is to prolong the inevitable until he's out of office so 1) he doesn't have to deal with it and 2) he thinks the blame will fall on whoever's in office when we "lose."
