As expected, President Bush is backing recommendations by his top commander in Iraq. I have my doubts about a President Obama or a President Clinton.

Damn straight! Diebold has already been programming the 'counting' machines for Mr. "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" McCain.

“If Iran makes the right choice, America will encourage a peaceful relationship between Iran and Iraq,” Bush said. “Iran makes the wrong choice, America will act to protect our interests, and our troops, and our Iraqi partners.”

Guess GWB missed the little love-in between Maliki and Ahmadinejad last month. Odd, since it took place outside the Green Zone in a show for the entire world to see.

Bush said Petraeus will “have all the time he needs” to consider when more American forces could return home.

Political cowardice dressed up as deference to military expertise.

There`s no pulling out of Iraq for the next 10-15years at least unfortunately, and people are kidding themselves if they think this anywhere close to over...

I just hope whatever is done is done in the best interest of the Iraqis.

**There should not be a pullout of Iraq. **

Mr. Ahmadinejad wants the US forces to go so he can declare war on their 'neighbor' and say their people are being unfairly suppressed.

Then we are back to the slave nation that it was. This cannot happen again. Iraqis are wonderful are great people with a thousand(s) year history. This Ahmadinejad should not bring those people back to the stone age.
