Bush puts finishing touches on Iraq plan

WASHINGTON -
President Bush is putting the finishing touches on his new Iraq plan, reshuffling his national security team and scheduling private briefings with lawmakers.

The president also planned to replace his two top generals in Iraq, according media reports.

Bush next week will unveil his strategy, which is expected to entail new political, military and economic steps to win the war. The military approach, which has attracted the most attention and skepticism from Congress, is expected to include an increase in U.S. forces, possibly 9,000 additional troops deployed to the Baghdad capital alone.

"One thing is for certain: I will want to make sure the mission is clear and specific and can be accomplished," Bush said Thursday.

kick the ass of everyone who disagrees with you out the door and make sure that only fawning sycophants are left, huff and puff and pontificate to all of them about what THEY need to do because YOU'RE RIGHT and THEY DON'T KNOW AS MUCH AS YOU DO, get someone else to write the plan, ride your bike, get coached on how to emphasize the key talking points, get fitted for a new suit, take a nap, approve the backdrop for the speech, watch a couple of NFL playoff games, go to bed early, and then get ready to stick it to congress, the voters, our former friends and allies around the world, the rest of the american people, and, last but by far from least, the soldiers who have yet to die fighting your misbegotten war... it's a tough job, you bastard, but i guess somebody's gotta do it...
