War deserter/dumbass: more cannon fodder needed to save muh legacy
A New Way Forward: Awol McBubbleboy to send 40,000 more troops to their deaths in Iraq.

Dan Froomkin asks

If the vox populi and the cognoscenti agree that throwing more American bodies at the problem will only result in more American deaths, then how is the apparent Bush plan anything short of a betrayal of the troops and an expression of contempt for the will of the people?

And is there any more plausible explanation for Bush's behavior than that he is willing to sacrifice more troops so he won't have to admit -- at least not yet -- that he made a mistake? Is that a good enough reason to ask even one more soldier to die?
Keith Olbermann agrees:
First we sent Americans to their deaths for your lie, Mr. Bush. Now we are sending them to their deaths for your ego.

If what is reported is true — if your decision is made and the “sacrifice” is ordered — take a page instead from the man at whose funeral you so eloquently spoke this morning — Gerald Ford: Put pragmatism and the healing of a nation ahead of some kind of misguided vision. Atone.

Sacrifice, Mr. Bush? No, sir, this is not “sacrifice.” This has now become “human sacrifice.” And it must stop.
Hah. The preznit is "driving toward a conclusion" as his plan is "taking shape" and "getting more detailed" as he puts "on the finer points" of sending more men and women to their doom for his ego and his lies. And what's going to happen if enough Dems find the balls to put the kibosh on his "plan"? Oh wait, forgot myself for a minute there...
