Bush planning to "run out the clock" until April and then blame the Iraq failures on a depleted military. So much for supporting the troops!

Some senators were left with the impression that the White House still does not recognize the scope of the Iraq dilemma. Worse yet, they see the president running out the clock until April, when a depleted U.S. military can be blamed for the fiasco.

Only a coward starts a fight and then runs away to blame its outcome on others.

I truly believed that I could not think any less of this President, but I was wrong.
