Bush seems to really believe that the Korea model will work well in Iraq:

"'Many times in recent months, he has told visitors to the White House that he needs to get to the Korea model -- a politically sustainable American deployment to keep the lid on the Middle East."

Yea, that's what we need, another 50+ year open-ended commitment that we can't afford. But answer me this. Where's the border, the line between the warring parties where we are supposed to spend the next 50 years? It's one thing to keep peace along a well-defined border, but when you are talking about a country as mixed up as Iraq, it's impossible.

How desperate is Bush that he would even consider a Korean-style stalemate victory?
