"Bush Pleads for Patience in Iraq War"
Not just no, but HELL NO!

WASHINGTON (AP) - With Democrats pushing for an end to the Iraq war now entering its fifth year, President Bush pleaded for more patience Monday, saying success is possible but "will take months, not days or weeks."

The war has stretched longer, with higher costs, than the White House ever predicted. On the fourth anniversary of the day Bush directed the invasion to begin, the president made a televised statement from the White House Roosevelt Room to defend continued U.S. involvement.

He said his plan to send 21,500 additional U.S. troops to secure Baghdad and Iraq's troubled Anbar Province "will need more time to take effect," especially since fewer than half of the troop reinforcements have yet arrived in the capital. Bush added: "There will be good days and bad days ahead as the security plan unfolds."

Democrats are bringing up this week in the House a war spending bill that would effectively require the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by the fall of 2008, on top of providing funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for the year. The White House has been pushing aggressively against this legislation, and Bush did so again on Monday.

2. This was supposed to be done with 3½ years ago or longer
The Secretary of Defense himself categorically stated, without qualification of any kind, that the conflict in Iraq wouldn't go even six months. Consistently, stubbornly wrong is not a strategy for victory.

Really that is insulting to boobs everywhere. Busholini is not a boob. He is a Dumbass. He is a criminal, and not a very good one.
