I'm very disappointed that he was thrown overboard. And for what? Does the President really think that appeasement will do him any favors?
I suspect he's done this in order to give the appearance of a 'fresh start' on Iraq with the voters - the dunces that didn't understand that the strategy was to constantly change strategy based on conditions on the ground, while keeping the goal of victory the same.
once again, I believe this is a move to appeal to the voting public, not Democrats.
Losing this election also gives the Republican nominee a better chance of winning in 2008. Democrats won't be able to deliver the miracles they been promising and hopefully their constant harping will tone down. Imagine if Republicans retained power, and this 6-year hatefest continued another 2 years. We'd have had this 2006 result in 2008, with the Republican presidential nominee losing.
