Bush Races Clock To Hold GOP On Iraq

Even Republicans supporting President Bush's new Iraq strategy have been saying this is the last chance for the Iraqi government, and there may be an underlying message for the President there as well. US News Political Bulletin hears from GOP strategists with close ties to Capitol Hill that the President and his senior aides are too optimistic about keeping GOP congressional support for the Iraq war over the long term. One senior Republican adviser says Bush has "until April or May" to improve things in Iraq. If he cannot, he could face a GOP rebellion that could result in reductions in spending for the conflict and legislation to start bringing the troops home.

Clamp down on reports of casualties, shut the Dems except Leiberman out of the media, and voila - success!

2. Wow, could we be independent of The Decider by July 4?

I knew all along that to get rid of the Insane Clown Posse we'd need a good number of Publicans to be willing to throw him under the bus. It looks like they may be getting ready to contemplate such a step.:evilgrin:
