I am very glad that he did, however I did not doubt for second that he will shut down this Iran Syria talks crap and he also shut down any time table to withdraw any number of US troops even if it is only a small number. In short, the President refused all the surrender terms that are in the Iraq Surrender Group.

Amen. God bless President Bush and God bless our troops.

My view is that it would be absurd to withdraw American combat troops. However, I would use more of them to provide a good example for the Iraqis and hold thge rest in reserve. Of courser the Iraqis are totally dependent on American supply. The only question is: How many supporters does Mookie have among the security forces? We may have missed our chance to take him out two and a half years ago.
