Would that not come from the Pentagon?

Not saying it's impossible he could mention it but surely it's broader in content than Abizaid even if he did.

I was surprised to read this morning that the president said we weren't winning in Iraq. Maybe it's just time to take Iran to the woodshed because somewhere I read that 80% of the attacks in Iraq are carried out and/or funded by Iranians.

Expected to be talking about his "increase of the military" but we'll see.

I listened to an audio speech RFK gave on Vietnam wherein he said the South Koreans needed to be taking on more of the burden rather than the Americans and having failed to create democratic structures. I thought it was interesting in light of some of the concerns in Iraq which has had free elections.

Yahoo had a headline this morning that Bush said we are losing the war in Iraq. Did he really say that?

Per FoxNews, Abizaid is requesting a 2nd carrier group be sent to the Persian Gulf.

"Yahoo had a headline this morning that Bush said we are losing the war in Iraq. Did he really say that?"

No. He quoted someone else who said we are not winning and we are not loosing...but the Wah Post distorted it. Go figure.

I heard an interview played this am from the Washington Post where the President said " We aren't winning, we aren't losing" Hey Yahoo, that's a loooooong way from "we're losing"!
Man, I hate the media!

The Washington Post. The most trusted source for fabrications and distortions.
