Bush: Leaving Iraq Would Be a Bad Signal

By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush said Thursday he sympathizes with war protesters like the mother camped outside his Texas ranch demanding answers for her solider-son's death, but he said he believes it would be a mistake to bring U.S. troops home now.

Bush said he had "heard the voices of those saying, `Pull out now.'" And he said, "I've thought about their cry and their sincere desire to reduce the loss of life by pulling our troops out. I just strongly disagree."

"Pulling the troops out would send a terrible signal to the enemy," the president told reporters between meetings with his military and foreign affairs advisers.

Outside his sprawling ranch, California mother Cindy Sheehan sat on the road with a growing group of war protesters who have pitched tents in shallow ditches. Sheehan's son, Casey, was killed five days after he arrived in Iraq last year at age 24.

2. Raises the question as to what kind of signal did going into Iraq give

[libertypirate]

3. What kind of signal does it send to the world to start wars with...

evaporating reasons?

4. Yep.. bad signal for him

would be acknowledging what a huge mistake he made going in there in the first place!

9. His *investors backed it

and his "job" is to deliver a payoff. First time he's succeeded in ANYTHING in his life! Halliburton is making a KILLING!

10. credit where credit is due

more Cheney than Schicklegruber

8. Staying in Iraq is a bad signal, too.

No one, I mean no one in the world thinks this whole escapade was a brilliant idea.

As long as one soldier remains in Iraq, he will be a target and a scapegoat for the mess that * made.

11. I hope and pray Cindy ends up taking this thing to Washington!!

There's a ton of us here in Cape Coral Florida that would do a beeline for DC. in a heartbeat!!

13. Another sentence out of his brain that means nothing.

What bad signal is he talking about, the red, yellow or green one? I mean I wish someone would pin this guy down and make him explain what he means, or if he doesn't know what he's talking about, to please say nothing.

14. His enemy

Is history and his legacy.

"believes it would be a mistake to bring U.S. troops home now."

Well I trust his judgement. I mean he's never been completely off base before... Oh wait.
