Bush comes up with five step plan to rebuild Iraq

[12th Doctor]

I just heard this on the radio, so I don't have the details, but it appears that, at the urging of Bush, the National War College has finally developed a "five step" plan for rebuilding Iraq, turning over power and pulling at least most of our troops out of there.

I don't know the details, but I think that this will have a big possitive impact on Bush's poll numbers.  When is he set to make that speech?

8 pm tonight at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA. Carried live by MSNBC, CNN and FNC that I know about.

Well, that makes sense then.  Thanks.

I'm hopeful that the Bush team is about demonstrate how American power is used for good in the world - not by holding and occupying, not by increasing troop strength, but by handing off to those citizens hungry enough for freedom that they will  partner with us in opposing fundamentalist terrorism with their own lives.

An exit strategy? It's about time.

From what I cna gather, these are the steps Bush is taking.

Step 1: Find a country where the people will greet us with flowers.

Step 2: Invade their country, be greeted with flowers.

Step 3: Alienate all the people in said country by promising them democracy, then handing power to a State Department bureaucrat.

Step 4: Take the Ba'athist generals you just deposed and give them all the positions of authority while you ignore moderate clerics and persecute anti-Saddam exiles.

Step 5: Lose the election to Kerry.
