“Sir, the Iraqis are saying it’s a fixed date, not an aspirational horizon or whatever”

There was a time when President Bush and his ilk considered it almost treasonous for those lily-livered Democrats to push for any “fixed date” for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
But that was then. This is now.
Oh, sure, Bush and Co. are pretending that their new withdrawal agreement with the Iraqi government is some kind of “aspirational” something or other. Yeah, right.
Aspirational, my aspirational! It’s a fixed date, as we see HERE.
Sounds pretty treasonous to me. Sounds like cut and run. Sounds like surrender.

Sounds like success to me.

Why am I not surprised? By the way, if success has been achieved, ROTS, why not leave now? Or is it that Bush knows success will not have been achieved until 2011? Is the guy some kind of psychic?

Pat,
is that the infamous 9/11 photo at the elementary school?

Great, now can we set a date to end racial preference laws?

Bob: What that has to do with Iraq escapes me. But I’m sure you’ll tell me.

Hoke: Yeah, that’s the photo that was followed by seven minutes of Bush doing his deer-in-the-headlights bit.

You have to admit it, ROTS is optimistic. Or is it delusional? Maybe he should spend some time there.
