Why Escalation?
-- by Dave Johnson
Calling for an escalation in Iraq just as the Democrats take control of the Congress is a typical Rovian strategy that accomplishes two things:
- It rechannels the debate away from whether we should leave -- now we're all discussing whether to escalate or not rather than whether to get out or not.
- And it places "stay the course" as the reasonable compromise between leave or escalate.
