Bush: once a used car salesman...

So President Bush interrupted my laughtrack-free (http://sumocat.blogspot.com/2006/11/yes-laughtrack-is-derailed.html) must-see TV viewing last night to announce that he's bringing home troops from Iraq, about 6,000 soon and a few brigades later. Sounds good, except this only brings the troop level down to pre-surge levels, so the net reduction is zero. It's like jacking up the price of a car by 25%, then cutting it by 20% in order to make a sale. Looks great if the buyer didn't know about the price increase, but how many of us forgot about the troop surge? The temporary, unsustainable troop surge.
