More misleading yadda, yadda, yadda, but no real plan:
Bush, whose Iraq policy is under mounting criticism from the public and even some members of his own party, again rejected calls to set a deadline for a withdrawal of troops, saying, ``We're achieving our strategic objectives in Iraq.''Mislead and overstate. That seems to be the policy. Does anyone know what the "strategic objectives" we are achieving in Iraq? An Islam based government? Daily carnage?
``We will stay on the offense,'' Bush said. ``We will complete our work in Iraq and Afghanistan. An immediate withdrawal from Iraq or the greater Middle East, as some have called for, would only embolden the terrorists and create a staging ground for terrorism.''
And embolden the terrorists? They seem pretty fricking emboldened now. And, Iraq has become their staging ground already. Nice job.
