Same shit, different day
I thought I'd sum up the President's plan for Iraq.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051130/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_iraq_31;_ylt=AhEcNVLmHhRrl8QIzXlyoohqP0AC;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

President Bush, facing growing doubts about his war strategy, said Wednesday that Iraqi troops are increasingly taking the lead in battle but that "this will take time and patience." He refused to set a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces.

"As Iraqi forces gain experience and the political process advances, we will be able to decrease our troop level in Iraq without losing our capability to defeat the terrorists,"

Of course by "terrorists" he now means mostly Iraqi's fighting us for whatever reason, but mainly because we aren't Iraqi's.

But a ray of hope:

Even before Bush finished speaking, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., claimed that the president "recycled his tired rhetoric of 'stay the course' and once again missed an opportunity to lay out a real strategy for success in Iraq that will bring our troops safely home."

At least some of our Dems are now speaking the truth and loudly. Keep it up.
