I finally figured it out.

I know what the bush administration is thinking when it comes to Iraq.


Its all about the secret.

The realization came to me while reading this post at the great orange satan.

The administration has been insisting for some time, even up until last week that there was no need for a "Plan B" if the escalation in Iraq didn't work because, well, apparently because they believe in the power of positive thinking, and as long as they believed no Plan B would be necessary, well then it wouldn't.
