Bush's scapegoats

President Bush does not anticipate or intend that his surge strategy against
Sadr will help stabilize Iraq. To the contrary, even a cooperative CIA will
tell him just the opposite.

Bush does not care. Bush has three different goals in mind that have
nothing to do with US national security.

First, he wants to make a scagegoat of Sadr for all of Iraq's problems to
protect himself and Iran, his partner in Iraq. He then wants to make the US
military a scapegoat for failing to apprehend Sadr.

Second, by driving Sadr out of Maliki's government, Bush wants to facilitate
the Iran/Hakim takeover of Iraq.

Third, Bush wants to rally his conservative political base behind this US
sellout of Iraq to Iran.

In short, Bush's surge policy is political genius, and a shameless act of
betrayal.
