Maybe Bush WANTED there to be a shortage of armor for the Humvees?
Maybe Bush WANTED for there to be a shortage of soldiers in Iraq so that our convoys over there would be vulnerable to attack?
Maybe Bush WANTED soldiers to have their tours of duty extended over and over again so that they would become objects of pity for the rest of us?
Because the longer things drag on over in Iraq, the longer the Senate has to vote on and inevitably pass supplemental funding bills so that we can "support the troops".
And the more such bills there are, the more opportunities the GOP has for attaching odious amendments to them, amendments that have nothing whatever to do with the war.
An Iraqi quagmire? I don't know if Bush wanted one but now that he's got one, I think he's just pleased as punch.
