It's fun to watch Senator McBush bob and weave as he tries to appeal to both the right wing base of his party (and the media) and independent voters. Now that his comment about keeping troops in Iraq for 100+ years has boomeranged on him, he's done some sophisticated computations, involving trajectory optimization and stochastic programming, and come up with the right number: 5 years, or 2013, at (surprise!) the end of his never-gonna-be first term.
What's a small miscalculation of 95+ years as far as our Iraq policy is concerned? Well, with the economy in a mess, at least McBush knows all about economics. . .uh, nevermind.
