WASHINGTON - After more than three years of prosecuting the war in Iraq as a matter of fighting the "global war on terror," President George W. Bush faces the challenge of defending the war in his party's struggle for control of Congress this fall.
The president waged an impassioned and sometimes heated defense of the war in a news conference yesterday. But he acknowledged his frustration at times with the progress of the Iraqi security force even as he insisted on the importance of maintaining the U.S. military mission "until the job is done."
"We're not leaving so long as I'm the president," he said. "That would be a huge mistake."
Okay, FIRST he says we're not leaving until the mission is accomplis.....completed.
We'll stand down when they stand up.........
NOW, he says we're NOT LEAVING WHILE HE'S PRESIDENT.
So......which is it?
Hasn't he just admitted defeat?
Hasn't he just admitted we can't leave while he's in office???????
Didn't he just embolden the terrorists by telling them they can blow us up for the next 2 years? Guaranteed.
Didn't he just give an "artificial timeline" ?
Isn't he bascially telling our TROOPS........NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU FIGHT, NO MATTER HOW MANY BATTLES YOU WIN....WE WILL NOT LEAVE WHILE I AM PRESIDENT.
