"I'm inclined to believe that we do need to increase our troops — the Army, the Marines," Bush said in the Oval Office session.

Lovely. To be fair to Bush:

From WaPo:

"[BUSH:] We need to reset our military. There's no question the military has been used a lot. And the fundamental question is, will Republicans and Democrats be able to work with the administration to assure our military and the American people that we will position our military so that it is ready and able to stay engaged in a long war?"

"Reset" them? Like re-attach their blown-off limbs? (Oh, wait, God will do that...) Does anyone seriously think that if Bush is given troops for "the long war" that they won't be thrown into the Iraq meatgrinder toute suite?

As our fellow B-List blogger, Avedon, points out, The Man in the Grey Turtleneck was right, right, right.

NOTE Of course, the "surge" will Fuck [genuflects] McCain, who called for it fully expecting it never to happen.
