Bush has spoken first hand to the press (amazing!) but told them we are in lack of a general withdrawal plan. That's right! No timetable, no nothing says Dubya.
"Our troops will come home when Iraq is capable of defending herself," Bush told reporters.
Great, just great! America wasn't able to defend itself till well after 1776 but that was before so suicide bombings and draping panties over prisoners heads. And what about Afghanistan? They had a head start and we will still have to be there for a decade if we want them to stand on their own two feet without becoming a drug-state. This should serve as a good lesson for "our" President, nations take a while to build, thus it's best to go one at a time. So, if we want to create a fully sovereign Iraq, we'll be there a while. Not only that, but we could be going it alone as our allies continue to pull back. Next on the list being Italy with it's 3,000 soldiers. Can I say it now? QUAGMIRE ACCOMPLISHED!!!
