Nope, no "phased withdrawal", no "gradual pullback"...
Just more of the same "stay the course" of failure! From The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin:
Because at today's press conference in Jordan, following his abbreviated meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Bush made it abundantly clear that he is waving off the rescue attempt by longtime Bush family fixer James A. Baker III. He'd rather stay the course.
News reports this morning indicate that Baker's bipartisan Iraq Study Group will next week officially recommend a gradual pullback of American troops from Iraq.
But in Amman, Bush went out of his way to mock the notion of a "graceful exit" -- and to insist that he's in Iraq for the long haul. "This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all," Bush said.
Yep, Bush won't accept help from his daddy's friends. He won't accept offers of bipartisan cooperation from the incoming Democratic Congressional leaders. He won't accept what the American people want. Hell, he won't even acept reality...
He's in his own La-la-land...
"This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all," Bush said.
Yeah, this business about "graceful exit" has no realism to it...
And I'm the most conservative Republican you'll find on God's green earth!
If Baker can't even kick some reality back into Bush's brain, then I guess he really is hopeless! Still, we progressives need to come up with our own exit strategy soon. We need to show the American people that we're serious about bringing the troops home soon, and about developing a realistic strategy to solve the Iraq crisis. Bush might gave thrown us into this war, but he's refusing to get us out of it...
Fine, let's work to bring the troops home soon...
And Team Bush can cause more turmoil for his own party!
