Now that the dems are in control he will want to go back to the "new tone" way of doing business for legacy building.And you know what, if he wants to sell us down the river --- meaning completely abandon even the slightest attachment to conservative principles of economics and government --- that's one thing. He's almost certainly going to do that.
But the big question is, will he also sell the US soldiers in Iraq down the river? Will he also sell the Iraqi people down the river? I listened to Tony Snow yesterday and was impressed. He stressed that Bush remains 100% committed to victory and he defined that victory very clearly: a friendly Iraq government that can stand on its own and be an ally in the WOT.
If that's true, then I will be a critic of Bush for pandering to the RATS, but I will still honor him as Commander In Chief.
If, on the other hand, he does the unthinkable, then he is not only flushing any reason to respect him down the toilet, he's flushing his legacy, and the lives of many of the best Americans, down the toilet too.
Dear President, I implore you. Do NOT cut-n-run.
