Simple Answers
Here's another edition of greyhair's simple answers to simple questions (idea stolen totally from Atrios). Dan Froomkin asks:
If the vox populi and the cognoscenti agree that throwing more American bodies at the [Iraq] 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?
It's not.
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?
No.
Is that a good enough reason to ask even one more soldier to die?
No.

This has been another edition of simple answers.
