#1 No surprise here, as even several Cold War Lefty protagonists of Reagan-Bush 1 don't believe Dubya is gonna wilfully or voluntarily leave Iraq-ME on his own. DEM DEBATE > THE DEMS MIGHT AS WELL HAD SAID on TV "VOTE FOR DUBYA = VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2008 = WE VIEW RADICAL ISLAM/TERROR AS BUSH DOES", and like before the audience.

#2 When will the Democrats 'get it'? "W" isn't going to pull out even when the 'other shoe' drops on November 7th 2008; The next Democratic President will have to recall on or after January 20th 2009, if they don't 'flip-flop' for the sake of 'national security' reasons (ie, if AlQaeda does something stupid between November 8th 2008 and January 19th 2009)!

#3 Seems to me W is expecting the military appropriations bill to pass. :-)

#4 The Dems are using every weapon at their disposal - subpoenas, hearings, rescinding tax relief, timetables, etc. to srong-arm W. Problem is, he is standing firm and daring them - you know they will blink first since they are basically gutless, classless and out of touch. The Repubs in congress have to take advantage of this and yell from on high because the MSM will always echo the Dems.

#5 Ya know, however long informed and thinking readers have been subjected to the heavy-handed editorializing and distortion on every subject outside the sports pages, they still notice the b.s.:

accepts that it will take far longer to achieve the results than President Bush envisioned when he announced the strategy

What? When did the WH announce they expected results overnight, dipwads?

Of course, mighta been nice if the WH had been signalling "long haul .... patience" with emphasis for some time now - both to the American and Iraqi audiences.
