Poll question: which are there more of???
Edited on Mon Jul-09-07 07:29 PM by welshTerrier2
no more timelines people; it's time to leave Iraq. no more funding; no more "withdrawal could BEGIN in 120 days"; no more ... just no more ...

Here are a couple of excerpts from the breaking news item:

source: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_IRAQ?SITE=VOICESD&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Official: Iraq Gov't Misses All Targets

A progress report on Iraq will conclude that the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad has not met any of its targets for political, economic and other reform, speeding up the Bush administration's reckoning on what to do next, a U.S. official said Monday.

One likely result of the report will be a vastly accelerated debate among President Bush's top aides on withdrawing troops and scaling back the U.S. presence in Iraq.

The "pivot point" for addressing the matter will no longer be Sept. 15, as initially envisioned, when a full report on Bush's so-called "surge" plan is due, but instead will come this week when the interim mid-July assessment is released, the official said.

"The facts are not in question," the official told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because the draft is still under discussion. "The real question is how the White House proceeds with a post-surge strategy in light of the report."

The report, required by law, is expected to be delivered to Capitol Hill by Thursday or Friday, as the Senate takes up a $649 billion defense policy bill and votes on a Democratic amendment ordering troop withdrawals to BEGIN in 120 days.


It's time to end TWO OCCUPATIONS!!! One is the occupation of the White House; the other is the occupation of Iraq.

The poll question is: Which are there more of?

1. They're now saying he won't discuss scaling back at all.
Instead, the script is all about "we've only just started with this new surge idea!"
