Bush press secretary defends Iraq policy

By ANNE GEARAN and ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writers 13 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A report citing a lack of progress by the Baghdad government is only "a look at the starting line" of the U.S. troop surge and shouldn't be used by critics to demand withdrawal, President Bush's spokesman said Tuesday.


"What Congress will get this week is a snapshot of the beginning of the retooling of the mission in Iraq," said Tony Snow, who defended the administration's war policy and argued that it's too soon to be talking about end-game strategies.

"Some of the benchmarks have been made, some of them haven't," he said. Snow confirmed existence of the coming report revealed earlier to The Associated Press by a senior administration official, although the press secretary also described news accounts about it as too gloomy.

"Benchmarks are not a way to figure out how to get out of Iraq," Snow said on CNN. "They're a device for figuring out how to succeed in Iraq."

2. Collins -as usual is saying (Dems) would have a "precipitous pullout"

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, had said on Monday, "What many of us are looking for is a new strategy that would not be a precipitous pullout with all of the problems that would cause, but rather a plan to exit over the next year."
