"Success in Anbar is critical to the democratic future of Iraq and to
the war on terror," he said.

So 2pid: does it sound to you like bushie has a preconceived idea of
his position? LOL!

And are you clever enough to see the marketing going on? Or was it
just coincidence that busie went to Iraq a couple of days prior to the
release of a report, which (as it turns out) is more of a verbal off-
the-cuff remarks session with Congress?

Why wouldn't there be a formal written report? Will bushie and crew
address the political situation (and I agree with bushie" Maliki is a
darned nice fellow!) and a prognosis for it functioning?

You've already made up your 'mind.' As usual, you are only looking at
1/3 of the problem.
