NeoConservatives start to panic about failure in Iraq--call for huge US spending in Iraq to make Bush policy succeed: "an editorial in the Weekly Standard called for a huge commitment of more troops, more money and more civilian workers to fend off disaster.
'Make no mistake,' the magazine said. 'The president's vision will, in the coming months, either be launched successfully in Iraq, or it will die in Iraq ... the future course of American foreign policy, American world leadership, and American security is at stake. Failure in Iraq would be a devastating blow to everything the United States hopes to accomplish.'
Unfortunately for President Bush, this is true. He has left no face-saving escape route for himself or his country."
