Bush Cites Gains but Sees No Cuts in Troops in Iraq

"CRAWFORD, Tex., Aug. 11 - Faced with mounting casualties and signs of diminished support for the war, President Bush said Thursday that while the United States was making progress in Iraq, it was too soon to say when the number of American troops could be scaled back."

Okay, he's saying its all good, but not really good? :puke:
