Competing Strategies Will Confuse Bush

We have Daddy's friends group (the Iraq Study Group). We have W's group convening to come up with strategies for Iraq - more of the same. Now we have a retired military officer offering his plans of increased troops/violence/death:

The outlines of the informal plan are as follows:
1) The Jawbone: Convene a meeting with the most senior members of the U.S. and Iraqi governments to explain that the U.S. is prepared to commit greater forces and resources for a period of one year...
2) The Strong Arm: In the short term, have the four military services, the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, prepare plans for a one-year surge in Iraq. Commit to destruction of the insurgent forces in Ramadi, Hit and the other Anbar strongholds... whatever it takes.
3) The Swagger: President Bush should give a speech to the U.N. in which he calls on other nations to either support the new Iraq or stop providing support and weapons to insurgents and militias; declares that most fundamental goals in Iraq were achieved, but the hope of democracy in Iraq is in the balance and only the Iraqis can determine that outcome; reminds the U.N. that lack of support for the peaceful option — smart sanctions — was doomed to failure when they were undermined by many in the audience; implicitly threatens that if nations contribute to instability and violence in Iraq, they would be considered enemies of the U.S...

Sure he then throws in two "diplomatic" efforts. But these cannot sweeten the "build-up" idea at all.

To all three groups -- consider WITHDRAWAL. It is what we want. It is what we are asking for. It is what we will be demanding!
