Bush admits USA needs new strategy in Iraq.
Quote
President Bush, admitting that "it's bad in
Iraq," acknowledged Thursday that the United States needs a new approach in the unpopular war and promised to unveil details in an upcoming speech.
Bush said he was disappointed in the progress in Iraq, but continued to oppose direct U.S. talks with
Iran or
Syria and remained steadfastly committed to spreading democracy across the Middle East.
"I do know that we have not succeeded as fast as we wanted to succeed," Bush said, standing alongside British Prime Minister
Tony Blair, his chief ally in the war. "I do understand that process is not as rapid as I had hoped."

He saw the light when he sent the troops in to oust Hussein you nimrod. Just because Bush had the onions to go after Iraq's WMDs without the morons at the UN telling him to, it doesn't make the intent wrong. And even though all casualties are horrible, the around 3,000 troops that died from 2003-today pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands killed in the Civil War or WWII, where thousands of soldiers were sometimes lost in a day.

Okay, well, if Bush has "seen the light" then name ONE thing that has changed, or will change in the next 6 months?
Name one thing that the Dems will do different than the GOP in the next 6 months?
Well, it now looks as tho Dems are pushing for MORE troops to be sent over.... maybe that will be different!
Whatever happened to anti-war teach-ins so at least the protesters had their facts straight?

No. He is incapable of adjusting policy regardless of the circumstances. He thinks he is always right. This is called "dry drunk syndrome".
