What a surprise!

Monday morning, Bush meets State Department officials to discuss the political and diplomatic options. He'll consult with historians and former generals in the afternoon. In the days ahead, the president has sessions with military commanders and Iraq's visiting vice-president. Officials say Bush's goal is to announce a new Iraq policy in a speech to the nation before Christmas.
What happened to "stay the course"? And just how many damn historians and (former) generals does he need to consult with? Perhaps this should've been done before we attempted to liberate those ungrateful Iraqis.
President Bush has made it clear that the Iraq study group would not be his only input on a way forward in Iraq. He has been cool to the group's call for a pull-back of U.S. combat troops by 2008 and direct talks with Iran and Syria.
Capitulating to the enemy. And the "main" two countries that are responsible for the terrorist insurgency in Iraq. Oh, great! No wonder why the Islamic world looks upon us as weak.
There are signs that the Pentagon may echo the Iraq study group in calling for U.S. forces to shift focus to training Iraqi troops.
I thought this has been going on all along! You mean to tell me the Iraqis haven't been trained "good enough" over the past few years?! I hope to God the next time we get involved with an Islamic country it's strictly from the air, dropping MOABs on the little bastards!
