"Cutting and running"
Question: Would the Bush administration even consider "declaring victory" (i.e., cutting and running) in Iraq by installing an interim constitution and a governing cabal strong enough to survive through, oh, November 12 2004 if that kept the Presidency in Republican hands?
Answer: There's a question here?
This is why all the Inside Baseball stuff about whether the Democrats have constructive alternatives, or whether "you broke it, you bought it" is the right way to think about the Iraqi problem is so meaningless.
Anyone who has dealings with the Bush administration knows that they are utterly untrustworthy. They just lie all the time, shamelessly. Getting them out of the White House is job one, and anything else is just tinkering round the edges.
