Bush not considering Iraq troop pullout By , AP White House Correspondent

WASHINGTON - President Bush is not contemplating withdrawing forces from Iraq now despite an erosion of support among Republicans for his war policy, the White House said Monday.
The administration also tried to lower expectations about a report due Sunday on whether the Iraqi government is meeting political, economic and security benchmarks that Bush set in January when he announced a buildup of 21,500 U.S. combat forces. White House press secretary Tony Snow said that all of the additional troops had just gotten in place and it would be unrealistic to expect major progress now.

"You are not going to expect all the benchmarks to be met at the beginning of something," Snow said. "I'm not sure everyone's going to get an "A" on the first report."

Oh please usa! no one has to be labeled a 'liberal" or "xtremist" to know hpw to use their OWN brains.
who else is to blame?
Bush didn't have to invade Iraq. The invasion (and subsequent ocupation) were in the planning stages long before Bush emerged! So use YOUR brain silly. I hope Iraq forces us out. I really do. AndI mean that they do it with more class than Bush had when he started an unnecessary illegal war!We;ve been told that if they ask us to leave, then Bush says we will.
Well, last I heard, they did.
and don't give me that "oh we went there tio provide 'liberty, freedom and democracy" for those poor people.
Yeah right.
since when has any white man wanted to provide "liberty, freedom and democracy" for brown people!
silly

I'm so sick and tired of people blaming President Bush for this problem, like I have always said The libs think only with a half of brain. President Bill Clinton told President Bush Saddam had WMD and many others informed Bush of this. These are Bill Clinton's Words; " President Bill Clinton, Feb.17, 1998...If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." Senator John F. Kerry Oct.9,2002 his words "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Democrats sent a clear signal to any and all terrorist that anything they do against us will work. That we are truly the "paper tiger" that Ossama bin Ladden claimed we were so many years ago after he witnessed the weakness of Bill Clinton's responses to terrorist outrages against us. On the floor of the House these weaklings spouted one lie and misconstruction after another in their effort to "prove" how Bush and our military are failures. One of the worst of all is the aforementioned former Marine, Jack Murtha. This is the reason we have been attacked on 9/11 these other countries consider all of us to be cowards because of the Democrats! So don't be suprised if were hit again, the Democrats show their weakness. The words Bill Clinton used on Feb.17,1998 came back to get him on 9/11, Bill Clinton problems struct 9/11 after President Bush with in office 8 months. Lets' face it the Democrats run with there tails between their legs.

Bush is a bad President. Little Georgie gets what Little Georgie wants, and right now he wants all American soldiers dead.

We should have declared victory in 2003, held elections, and left.
