Kristol believes Bush mulling more than 'short term surge' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X7JeFQUGIs&eurl=David Edwards

Neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol believes that any increase of U.S. troops in Iraq must be a
permanent increase to achieve success. "There's no point having a short term surge," Kristol said on Fox News Channel. "Especially, if it's proclaimed ahead of time that it's just short term. Then the enemy goes into hiding for 3 or 6 months.""We pull back and we're in the same situation," the Weekly Standard editor said.
"Bush will commit - I believe, when he speaks in a couple of weeks -- to doing this. That this is a strategy for victory and that he's willing to do this for the remaining 2 years of his presidency." Forcasting the president's plan for Iraq, Kristol adds, "I think Bush will say 'We can win. We have to win. We're going to increase troop levels as part of a new strategy for the sake of victory.' And, so,
it will not be a short term surge.Kristol respects the president for increasing troops against conventional wisdom in D.C. and against the wishes of public sentiment, but mocks the majority of people that have doubts about a troop increase, saying, "This is a remarkable moment, though. I came to Washington 30 years ago. How often does a president go against - what Juan referred to -- the wider consensus in this town, 'the military solution isn't possible?' It's a very broad consensus of the establishment and, I think, that's why there's so much anger among the establishment-types. 'Gee. The Baker-Hamilton Commission pronounced its verdict.
And how dare the president make up his own mind and decide that he's not just going to just gracefully except defeat with this nice bi-partisan patina of the Baker-Hamilton Commission. How dare he decide that we might win in Iraq."more at:

"How does it lead to victory? It won't solve any problems; it won't force the hands of Iraq's leaders; at best, it will simply be one more reason for delay - a delay that will be paid with American blood. That's a price our troops and our nation shouldn't be asked to pay any longer."
