Iraq and Bush: "the worst of all possible worlds"

once upon a time, hearing someone with credibility, authority and respect declare that bush was in a pickle would have given me reason to hope, thinking that, perhaps, if others saw what i was seeing, there would eventually be a groundswell for deposing this faux king...

Tactically, strategically and politically Bush now finds himself in the worst of all possible worlds. With Americans increasingly fed up with the Iraq debacle, he needs to start drawing down troops soon, but he can't do it while the country teeters on the brink of civil war. If civil war does break out, a U.S. withdrawal will look even more like cutting and running -- under these circumstances, not even Karl Rove will be able to figure out a way to get away with simply declaring victory and going home. Yet if American troops stay, they have no good options either. . ."

while i believe that juan cole's perspective is spot on, i have abandoned any hope that bushco is the slightest bit inclined to even consider doing the right thing nor do i see the slimmest thread of a possibility of removing these criminals from their incredibly destructive path...
