Iraq: Where We're Headed

The New York Times sums up the situation well:

After all, it seems the burden of ending the war will fall to the next
president. Mr. Bush was clear last night — as he was when he addressed the
nation in January, September of last year, the December before that and in April
2004 — that his only real plan is to confuse enough Americans and cow enough
members of Congress to let him muddle along and saddle his successor with this
war that should never have been started.

The occupation will continue open ended, Americans will continue to die in Iraq, and America's reputation will sink lower still. This is what "The Decider" is planning to do until he leaves office. It does not appear as though he can be stopped. Could the German people stop Hitler?
