True.
But the current moves are just so cynical it amazes me.
I think it's a huge mistake, though. Not talking about International politics, but the ratings.
The administration is putting itself into a catch-22 situation.
The budget is an issue, so there is reluctancy to send in more troops, which would be needed to take control of the situation.
The military knows what they need, nobody listens.
And we're rapidly getting closer to the point where the loss of American lives in Iraq will become an issue.
When that happens, Rumsfeld will declare Iraq "fixed", and call home the troops, no matter what. That's my guess.
But hey, I'm the cynical type.
