President Bush is keeping us all in suspense about what he plans to do about Iraq.

First we are told that he will reveal his plans before Christmas.

Now it’s sometime in January.

But his mind was made up months ago. He will send in more troops, without a doubt. Bush is trying to fool the American people by taking his good old time, as if he is actually listening to others and giving their ideas some thought. But we all know by now that Bush is a one-man show and listens only to himself.

The American people spoke loud and clear in November. We want a change now.

And despite the Iraq Study Group’s conclusion that a military victory is highly unlikely, and a recent poll showing that only 11 percent of Americans want to see a troop surge, I can assure you that he will send in more troops.
