#1 The pop-left's script for this will be based on the leftist response to the 1970 invasion of Cambodia. In what passes for their minds, this is an analogous situation---- the defeated imperialists lashing out in a last desperate attempt to retrieve the situation.

Actual campus riots, as opposed to choreographed hate-festivals, are less likely now that the ex-hippies run the campuses but the urge to follow a counterculture meme is very powerful among the conformist masses, roughly equivalent to a rodent mating impulse.
If acted upon faithfully enough, this script might even lead to a twenty-first century version of Kent State, hundreds of them with any luck.

#2 The problem here is one of terms and of public relations. What Bush proposes sounds like (and in fact is) a military offensive. Surge sounds an awful lot like hurl to me with all the charms attributed thereto.

The surge terms gives Bush's snooty political enemies ( AKA The American Left ) a chance to trivialize this critical moment in the Iraq War, and thus to ignore it in favor of agenda. These folks live for verbal slip ups from their enemies jsut so they can trivialize it and advance their own barbaric ideas.

For me on a very, very personal level, I do not believe we have properly instructed the masses that in a war the only acceptable casualties are the enemy's and that when your representative supports a war it must be until victory is achieved, or that representative must vote against the war; that turning against the war for humanitarian reasons just makes your representative sound like a huckster, unworthy to participate in a republic.

Another thing Bush has failed to do is to simplify the requirement of the Iraq war. Allow me:

Our presense in Iraq is a strategic block against the ambitions of a hostile armed foreign power, if nothing else, and that by leaving we are conceding the field to that enemy, and that those who insist we do so value agenda rather than our nation's interests and those people who value agenda over all must be removed from power.
