Dubious Nostrum

A guy named Bob Krumm has managed to generate a little notice in the blogosphere (Kevin Drum and Mickey Maus, Laus, whatever) with this bit of helpful political advice:
I offer Democrats a sure-fire, absolutely guaranteed way to win the Presidency in 2008: Let Bush win the war in Iraq.
Of course this fatuous advice is not intended seriously - the point is promote the notion that the Democrats either are or might prevent Bush from winning in Iraq. Never mind that Bush controls all three branchs of government and that the actual Democrats in Congress have given him everything he asked for in the war - money, troops, trashing the constitution, and cover for the lies that he used to get us into the war. And never mind that in almost four years he has waged perhaps the most incompetent military campaign since Custer.

Let Bush win. I only wish he would - or could. How long do we have to wait for him to come up with a plausible plan for victory. How many more of our sons, daughters, husbands, wives and parents are we willing to spend to keep up the pretense?
