No Dubya You Lost, Withdraw Now.

President Dubya finally agrees to withdraw his troops, only after sending in more to "scrafice".

U.S. troop strength is now about 140,000. Bush is expected to propose sending 21,500 more troops to Iraq, according to the Associated Press. "The rules of engagement -- the terms in which our troops would actually conduct these operations -- were flawed," Bartlett said.

And he's ignoring his own Iraq Study Group:

But Bush has rejected the advice of the independent Iraq Study Group, headed by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Democratic former Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana that he phase down the U.S. military presence in Iraq, on the theory that each American in uniform provided Iraqi insurgents with another target.

And get a load of this from him:

"If we increase our support at this crucial moment and help the Iraqis break the current cycle of violence, we can hasten the day our troops begin coming home," Bush will say, according to excerpts of the speech released by the White House late this afternoon.

Good thing this Dem has balls:

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) warned, "The days of congressional blank checks for a failed policy are over."

Now let's see if the Democrats has the balls to stop escalation.

The presidental speech will be aired at 9pm EST on all the major television networks, including MPT (PBS). Hopefully, I'll be live blogging the event.
