We all knew Bush would not work with the Democrats in any sensible or bipartisan fashion, but I was holding out hope that he would recognize the situation he is in and curb his abuses in the face of a oppositional Democratic Congress.
I was wrong.
President Bush's speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in
Iraq is already under way.
ABC News has learned that the "surge" Bush is expected to announce in a prime time speech tonight has already begun. Ninety advance troops from the 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Baghdad today. An additional battalion of roughly 100 troops from the same division are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday.
It is the first small wave of troops in a new White House strategy that is expected to put more than 20,000 additional U.S. troops on the ground in Iraq and likely require new call-ups of the National Guard.
Bush must learn the hard way that he does not wield supreme power and he cannot lie to the nation. Democrats should not shy away from the Constitutional crisis that Bush has subjected this country to for the past six years. Bush must be stopped.
