To get bush off this war escalation thing is to somehow make it his idea.

We have to find a way to have him know it will further him.

1. Start putting words in the President's mouth.

Like this:

An Idea From the President We Can All Get Behind

While many have assailed this President, few can deny the genius of the idea he has recently offered to members of his closest inner circle: the President has offered to sacrifice his own life in exchange for peace in Iraq.

It's a brilliant plan: if the people of Iraq simply stop killing each other and American occupiers for forty-eight hours, he will deliver himself to the closest mob in Iraq and let the crowd rend him to shreds.

In so doing, George W. Bush will go down as the greatest, most brilliant statesman of all time, a genius who selflessly sacrificed his own life to right the wrongs of the Clinton Administration. Peace will descend upon Iraq like a warm and fuzzy blanket, and the hundreds of thousands of civilian dead may even rise from their graves and start pumping oil.

We support you in this endeavor, Mr. President.
