As I and others have said before, Bush's primary goal seems to keep the war going until he's out of office. So when the really bloody work of getting us out of there (or mostly out of there) is underway, he can say that the current president screwed it up.

We should be clear. It will get worse before it gets better, but it will never get better until we get the hell out of there. Whichever Democrat becomes president, he or she is going to have a mess on his/her hands and it's going to either be very horrible or extremely horrible. Thanks little George for not cleaning up your mess. So typical of you.

Anyway, this editorial in the NYTimes says it better than I...

No Exit, No Strategy

...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.
