Bush moves "all in"

With his new proposal on Iraq, Bush has moved all his -- actually our -- chips into the center of the table. Democrat or Republican, red or blue, we all have a lot at stake in this move to stabilize the situation in Iraq to the point that our troops can come home.

The worst case scenario now is that the temporary increase in troops becomes a permanent escalation. For that not to happen, the country needs to come together and put its full effort behind the new strategy.

Bush made a mistake in pulling the trigger on the Iraq war in March 2003. But we're there now, and the fighting between Democrats and Republicans isn't going to get us out.
