Nothing Succeeds like Success

George Bush drops another big hint that he didn’t think much of the Inane Strategy Guesswork recommendations:

“Like most Americans, this administration wants to succeed in Iraq because we understand success in Iraq would help protect the United States in the long run,” Bush said after his State Department briefing.

… The president said his aim is to coordinate advice from his diplomatic and military advisers “so that when I do speak to the American people, they will know that I’ve listened to all aspects of government.”

Here’s a clue. The ISG is not an aspect of government.

So what is success?

“Success is a country that governs, defends itself, that is a free society that serves as an ally in this war on terror,” he said.

Success in Iraq is vital because that country is a central component of defeating the extremists who want to establish a safe haven in the Middle East from which to attack the U.S. and other countries and spread totalitarian ideology, Bush said.
