Bush's gut - finally catching on

So, Bush said his gut is telling him that the Iraqi insurgency is trying to inflict enough damage to make us leave.

Well, duh.

They view us as an invading and occupying army. Of course they want us to leave.

And anybody with even a toehold in reality could have predicted that before we started.

[This is not to say that we should leave immediately - I'm not quite convinced that's the best thing - only that anybody should have been able to tell that invading a country rarely makes its citizens love you.]
