announcing an announcement

Bush to announce new Iraq strategy in new year

why delay it until next year? i mean, if the current strategy isn't working (and bush must think so if he's really going to announce a change) then why not change it now? why have another 3+ weeks of people dying needlessly for the old strategy?

it really bothers me that the bush administration treats the iraq war as a campaign event, to be rolled out at the time calculated to get the most impact (i.e. post-holidays). they don't act like this is an immediate serious problem.
