Man Without a Party

The basis of this site is a man without a prty, essentially caught in the middle of partisan politics, mostly because I am a moderate and in Centerfield. So if that is the case, why in the hell am I linking a Pat Buchanan article?

I think he does a fair and partisan job of speaking of the dire situation in Iraq. He uses factual info from Generals, and former Dem and Repub National Security Advisors. Buchanan lists three paths that Bush can take, keep dumping troops and stay the course, continue to send troops and train the Iraqis for a year, or call in the UN or NATO.

I obviously vote for the third option. I also believe they should do it before the potential Iraqi election nightmare. I certainly believe that this election will not be a success and that Civil War is possible. Others clearly agree.

Unfortunately I believe as long as some of the neocons, Rummy mostly, are around we will not admit failure with regard to the war and the election. And we certainly know that Dubya doesn't like to admit mistakes, much less correct them. So my guess is Dubya will go with the first option for now, claim the election a success. Than a year from now when we are further decimated with regard to troops, he goes to #2, declaring another year of training Iraqis and then a pull out.

But what do I know....
