Shouldn't we plan ahead?

Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia was one of 11 GOP lawmakers who met with Bush and his top aides Tuesday afternoon.

"We asked them what's Plan B," Davis said. "We let them know that the status quo is not acceptable." Davis said the president responded that if he began discussing a new strategy, his current one never would have a chance to succeed.

what kind of military commander refuses to plan ahead? Bush refuses to make plans in case his current strategy fails. I'm not arguing against the war or for it, but how it is handled. How can anyone make the same mistake so many times? He assumed Iraq would surrender and celebrate us as liberators, and when that didn't happen we didn't have a backup plan. After four years his big stategy shift is to simply throw more troops at the problem. Fine, but what if that fails? we are without a paddle. Why does he refuse to plan for what can happen?

Update:

I never said abandon his principles, just a plan in case the current one doesn't work. (yes, that is a possiblity)

    Who knows? he is stubborn. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" I don't know who said it, but it certainly applies here. Anyway, you'd think he would have a more comprehensive plan

    Noah Bryton/Brighton - Noah Brighton is adorable. I regularly select "y's" in ladies names vs. boy names. It simply turns out extra Female with a "y", so I like Brighton higher. Jameson Ryan- Very adorable. Ryan is one in every of my favorites. Cayden Micah- I am now not very keen on Cayden. I realize four households that simply had boys and they're all named with the -ayden themed identify. Aaden, Jaden, Kaden- it is a VERY wellknown topic. Although, I love Micah. Brogan Michelle (quality pal)- Not loving this. Harper Elizabeth- Harper is an overly pleasant identify, and Elizabeth is regularly a exceptional center identify. Brooke Gracelyn- Brooke could be very adorable, do not love Gracelyn. Addison Rae- very adorable, however I believe Renae might sound higher! I desire you the quality! Baby Dust!!!! xoxo meg

    so 11 RINOs meet with Bush, and he's supposed to abandon his principles for that? that would make him no better than his predecessor
