Cowardly, cowardly custard

As Atrios is wont to say, "Na ga hapn." Bush will never order a withdrawal from Iraq; in his mind, leaving is losing, and--dammit!--this will be the one time in his life he won't lose. There is only one option for our yellow-bellied Congress: impeachment. Otherwise, the next preznit will be handed a stinking pile of shit and a sample vial of Arpege.

Bush Backs Away From 2 Key Ideas of Panel on Iraq - New York Times
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 — President Bush moved quickly to distance himself on Thursday from the central recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, even as the panel’s co-chairmen opened an intensive lobbying effort on Capitol Hill to press Mr. Bush to adopt their report wholesale.

One day after the study group rattled Washington with its bleak assessment of conditions in Iraq, its Republican co-chairman, James A. Baker III, said the White House must not treat the report “like a fruit salad,” while the Democratic co-chairman, Lee H. Hamilton, called on Congress to abandon its “extremely timid” approach to overseeing the war.
