Bush will abandon his own mess

PRESIDENT Bush’s opposition to postponing elections in Iraq is evidence of his intentions to wash his hands of this mess as quickly as possible.

The Bush estimation of time and money needed to convert Iraq into a peaceful state will be shown to have been underestimated to the point of lunacy.

To have broken Saddam’s rule will look a bigger and bigger act of insanity as time goes on. I believe Iraq will remain hugely unsettled by militants against Anglo-American involvement (if not engulfed in civil war) for the rest of our lifetime.
