Chapter 47.6: Can You Say Escalation?

Well, anybody expecting a significant number of troops to return from Iraq in time to rally voters in November must be sorely disappointed with the comments made by President Bush, who said he'll be ordering more troops to deal with the "terrible" sectarian violence. While I'm not particularly crazy about the war -- and not a fan of our president's policies in general -- I actually think this is a necessary move. Had the president truly downsized the American presence in Iraq, I think a civil war there would have followed. And that would have been worse for us -- and certainly worse for a region that is having enough problems already. I think President Bush should have listened more closely to Colin Powell a few years ago when he was telling him that more troops would be necessary.
