The guy hasn't changed at all! He talks about a new course and then orders something that's already been done at least twice before and hasn't worked. He says it will different this time but it won't be. He is going to have to seal off the borders if he wants any chance to get a handle on it. He can't do that without substantially more troops, which he doesn't have.

He's basically giving a lot of lip service to changing course but then turns around and offers more stay the course.

Still Congress is going to have to let it have a shot just to prove it won't work and then they will have to shut the production down. So more people will die needlessly between now August or so when I estimate that Congress will be forced to close the door on an Iraq victory.

And they'd better get busy concentrating on Afghanistan or they will lose that too.
