the media must do everything they can to portray the 6/30 handoff as "cut and run" - the sad part is, many freepers will buy into it.

The June 30th date has been out there for who knows how long now... The leftists scoffed and said there never would be a handover on June 30th. Now that it is apparent that the handover WILL take place on June 30th, they're claiming Bush is RUSHING to do it.

LOL. These treacherous scumbags are so transparent.

Could this article be any more slanted? I honestly thought it was a joke when I started reading it. I love how the author takes it upon himself to somehow discern what the President's motives are.

When is bill clinton going to pursue his exit strategy in Kosovo? I'm glad to see the press is on his case about that.

In a public address next week, Bush plans to lay out in more detail the course for the remaining month and a half before the scheduled transfer, administration officials said.

Done right, this could help him with those who are fuzzy on what to expect in Iraq.

I don't know how it can be made any clearer. Politicians and the President have said all along that we will be in Iraq for a long time. In June Iraq will be handed over to a temporary government until elections can be held.Seems to me the press just doesn't like the truth anymore.

These morons are once again furious that their previous dire predictions haven't come to pass. They said America would not be any safer if we went into Iraq. We went; has anyone seen anything like 9/11 occur? Of course not. However, the libs spin it now to say that Iraq is no safer now that we're there. It's 1000% safer without Saddam's henchmen running loose murdering their countrymen, but the media likes to portray the few death-cult loyalists as a nationwide uprising. You back commie-libs like this into a corner and make them realize that their arguments are 100% wrong, and they just spin it 180 degrees and keep running. Common cowardice, a trait they all share.

Didnt we "rush" to war in 18 months ?...now in another 18 months we are "rushing" to get out. All this rushing around is sure hard on a person

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see GW's poll numbers go up when this is done over the next few weeks.

Rushing to stem eroding support at home and abroad for his Iraq policies...

Spreading violence and a prison abuse scandal have pushed the president's approval ratings to new lows and he is eager to show Americans he is on top of the situation...

Bush is trying to counter growing concerns inside and outside his administration that the occupation is failing and that he has no strategy to improve the situation.

It's always been bad, but it's getting worse. I think that by November, every Reuters story about this administration will be titled "Bush is Hitler".

Imagine that. Bush said his goal was a 6-20 hand over, and now the very anti Bush Reuter's reports he is "rushing" to the handover...

Talk about bias in headlines.

Rushing to stem eroding support at home and abroad for his Iraq policies, ...

The alternative statement from the real world is:

Following the plan announced over a year ago,...
