Bush passes the buck on Iraq - By HELEN THOMAS - HEARST NEWSPAPERS


WASHINGTON -- President Bush still has to learn "the buck stops here" when it comes to presidential decisions.

The "decider" and commander in chief seems to be trying to pass the buck, particularly if the war in Iraq implodes and he has to bring troops home from his disastrous invasion of Iraq.

Bush is a long way from that mirage even with an expected Pentagon buildup of U.S. troops to 160,000 by midsummer.

Bush's war of choice -- now in its fifth year -- has taken 3,368 American lives and wounded thousands more Americans.

The latest CBS-New York Times poll said the president has dropped to 24 percent in his approval ratings on his handling of the war. President Nixon's Watergate scandal-plagued polls fell to 23 percent when he was forced to resign from office.

1. Isn't that the same percentage of Americans who believe Jesus is coming back this year?

8. Defying congress with that veto has backfired on him.
Now is not the time for the Democrats to be timid. Send him another bill with a fixed withdrawal date even earlier then the last. He's losing and they need to press the attack.
