Creating the fiction

Josh Marshall has this bit of news:

Here at TPM we spent a good part of the day trying to find out where the congressional leadership in both parties and in both houses stand on President Bush's to increase the number of troops in Iraq by 30,000 to 50,000. The basic story was pretty clear: The Democrats are united against it; and the Republicans won't say one way or another.

As predicted here in the past, Bush is going to try to blame the Democrats for losing his already horribly lost war of vanity. This is the fiction he and all the others, so dreadfully wrong, will cling to. "We'd have WON if you would have just fed another 50,000 troops into the gaping maw of death that is Iraq".

Just like the Vietnam fiction.
