Bush: Leaving Iraq Would Be a Bad Signal

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush said Thursday he understands and respects the views of anti-war advocates like a California mother camped outside his Texas ranch to mourn her soldier son fallen in Iraq, but said it would be a mistake to bring U.S. troops home now.

"I understand the anguish that some feel about the death that takes place," Bush said.

"I also have heard the voices of those saying: 'Pull out now!' " he said. "And I've thought about their cry and their sincere desire to reduce the loss of life by pulling our troops out. I just strongly disagree."

Immediate withdrawal "would send a terrible signal to the enemy," the president said.

1. Bush has been the TERRIBLE SIGNAL to the World.....He is the symbol

of the worst leader one can find....even Gary Coleman woulda done better....

2. Hmmmmmmmmm...............

How can he "understand the anguish" felt by a parent over the loss of a child, when he's never experienced the death of a child?

Never say "I understand" unless you've walked in someone else's shoes in question.

3. Umm, they weren't enemies until you attacked Iraq first

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

why didn't they ask him if he'll meet wit her

and he still hasn't answered her question

4. Since the enemy isn't going to go away, it means that the situation

is permanent. Forever. Endless.
Thus the reason for the permanent bases. Notice how there is NO mention of ending it?

5. He didn't worry about the bad signal when he invaded...?

But leaving would now be a "bad signal"?
