Bush urges Congress to wait for Iraq report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ..............

"The stakes in Iraq are too high and the consequences too grave for our security here at home to allow politics to harm the mission of our men and women in uniform," Bush said in a statement after visiting military officials at the Pentagon...................

"This status report comes less than three months since our new strategy became fully operational and will assess what is going well, what can be improved, and what adjustments might be made in the coming months," Bush said.

1. As horrible as Bush is, it is far worse that America tolerates Bush

Frankly, that Bush remains in office is proof positive of just how sick America is

5. Keep a watch on the magician's OTHER hand...
namely the Iraq oil laws. They are stalling for some other, unseen, reason!

7. Why is Bush telling Congress to wait when he already know what he's going to do?
We might even see a "Surge II" from the Bush Admin.
