The Bush clan are paternalistic, noblesse oblige, right-wing aristocrats with an intelligence background. They think they know more about global realpolitik than the American public can face. That's why they treat us like idiots. They expect us to panic. They are trying to spare us that.

From MeFi:

Now lets see:

Going = Trouble
Staying = Double

if we assume that:
Trouble = Double / 2

so:
Staying = 2 x Trouble

It is obvious that they should go, as this will lead to exactly half as much trouble as staying.
