The Road to Success

I heard something I found amusing, in a painful sort of way.

from ajc.com

Asked if any of the recommendations he's heard so far were new to him, Bush said, "I've heard some ideas that would lead to defeat."

"And I reject those ideas, ideas such as leaving before the job is done, ideas such as not helping this (Iraqi) government take the necessary and hard steps to be able to do its job," Bush said.

I have also heard "some ideas that would lead to defeat." What I have not heard are any ideas that would lead to success. If all options are bad, Mr. Bush, should we not seek to choose the least bad option? If all roads lead to defeat, should we not just lose and get it over with? Then, at least, we can go win at something else.
