Bush Plans Affecting Iraq Study Group

President Bush, rather than cutting from Iraq, actually appears ready to increase troops in a final push for a decisive victory. According to the anti-American Guardian:

Mr Bush's refusal to give ground, coming in the teeth of growing calls in the US and Britain for a radical rethink or a swift exit, is having a decisive impact on the policy review being conducted by the Iraq Study Group chaired by Bush family loyalist James Baker, the sources said.

Hmm...according to the media last week, Daddy's friends were supposed to be riding to the rescue of George Bush to give him a reason to exit Iraq. Unsurprisingly, they typically publish their hopes and desires as fact. Bush is still calling the shots - I hope he keeps it that way with Congress as well.
