Answer 1

Jlyn just might be onto something there, but I don't think Bush has any plan of changing directions in Iraq. In fact he still thinks things are not that bad as them seem in Iraq. Personally, I think the man is dillusional and needs to be impeached.

Answer 2

b is probably the closest right answer. He needs to see what he can get away with once he sees which way the wind is blowing. I think he's going to just "Stay the course" anyway. I don't think he's able to change his mind easily but you never know with this guy. I also think a lot depends on what the Iranians do - they are the real enemy in the middle east. The country (the US) is nearly bankrupt so his options are becoming limited. I think we are upto something like half a billion dollars a day (not sure but I know its a lot). Just like most empires nearing the end of their leadership periods, we've gotten involved in dead end losing conflicts on the peripheries of our interests that drain the treasury and our precious young men and women. Sending in more troops at this point will only escalate things in the region and inflame Iran who will likely be nuclear capable by the end of next year. He opened up a can of worms over there instead of a can of whoop ***. Just so you know, I supported the invasion initially based on the evidence presented. Once this turned out to be fake, then the idea of a "Clear and Present Danger" was lost and that was it for me. Supporting a losing proposition makes no sense. We need to get out and fast. Make no mistake - the Iraqis are not our friends. We've also lost the initiative on Afghanistan because we lost our focus and put too much into Iraq. I think he had been looking for a fight there since he was elected to get back at them for trying to assassinate his father. I remember thinking that as I watched the negotiations proceed - you could tell that we were not negotiating in good faith. Its a sad mess. What I find the most interesting is the country's mood. The "your either with us or against us" and the "US do or die" crowds believe that any dissent is unpatriotic which happens to be the exact opposite of what the Constitutions framers envisioned. I don't know of anyone who questions their patriotism. We're going along dismembering the Constitution now anyway as its getting in this administration's way anyhow. I think a real patriot always questions what his country is up to and keeps it on the straight and narrow. Read what our nation's founders wrote versus what is written today. Most of our leaders don't even have written thought anymore - its all done by speechwriters, committees and focus groups. Today which ever way the wind blows determines the way this country goes. The moral compass is either broken of there are those who hold a magnet at the end they want it to point to. By the way - the magnet is called money - that's the only thing that drives this country's leadership anymore. Sad.

Answer 3

Wow, after answering one of your other questions I thought perhaps you were one of the sincere people who really cared to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. A question like this only contributes to the divisive trend people in our country are taking.


I'll try and answer anyways.

1) Gates to take office.

2) Co-ordinate our plan with our Allies.

3) Waiting for the new Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon to take over control of the UN.

4) Input from the military leaders for a plan in Iraq for what they need.

5) Time to implement that plan stateside with the military here.

6) Input from the leaders of Iraq

7) Lastly, I truly believe he is welcoming input from some of the more moderate Democrats in Congress.

This is a good thing.

Answer 4

I think because he is now waiting to see what will happen with the senator that had the stroke. Because if there is a tie in the Senate, Chaney will be the deciding factor. Meaning that Republicans will pretty much keep the Senate. So now there is this little factor. I think Bush will change what he was going to tell us about the war. I find it funny that he was going to say something, but than the Senator had the stroke, and now he is saying, he will wait until after the New Year.
