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
