<-President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice pow-wow with various groups working on making progress in Iraq, such as the Iraq Provincial Reconstruction Team Leaders, via video on Friday.
Is Dick Cheney asleep again????
Scrambling to shore up crumbling support for the war in Iraq, President George Bush released a report yesterday claiming sufficient political and military progress to justify the presence of 170,000 US troops in the country.
President Bush said he still believed victory in Iraq was possible.
“Those who believe that the battle in Iraq is lost will likely point to the unsatisfactory performance on some of the political benchmarks,” he said.
“Those who believe the battle in Iraq can and must be won see the satisfactory performance on several of the security benchmarks as a cause of optimism.” He added it was too early to say if his new strategy in Iraq was working.
