Basically, American troops are not being pulled out of Iraq anytime soon, as a matter of fact, we may be sending another 50-100,000 troops over there.

We need to stay there until everything we want is accomplished.

Blah, Blah, Blah

We are not forcing timetables on Iraq, but helping them to meet benchmarks.

Maliki is doing a great job.

Oh! Didn't realize Maliki wasn't aware of that we were going to bomb Sadr, guess we will have to work on better communications next time.

maliki HAS to say he didnt know about sadr being bombed. its called politics.

Sure things are going on behind the scenes but Bush is still behind in the polls and the earlier speech won't be enough to swing the votes IMO.

i can tell that sneaky dubya has something up his sleeve or that he knows about thats about to come down and change the tide.

Iraq Public Holidays and Bank Holidays - Calendar 2006

the alteration to this was the fact that the cbi is a state bank and they are going to be closed for 10 days.

he didnt want to blow the 'surprise'!!

Exactly,

And he has already been put on notice if he disarms militia representing his party, he will be killed, so talk about tough politics, Bush or Sadr, pretty easy decision who he will distance. (g)

Good luck to all, Mike

Ok, I just listened to Shep on FOX News state that Iraq was thoughly disgusted (his words) and outraged at the comments that GW made at his News Conference. Then they played the comments from Iraq that were made on this site late last night and early this morning. I for one do not call that fair and balanced! I like FOX and have watched them for years, but this is more pandering to the elections in my opinion. I think our election is hurting us more than helping us on the r/v right now. I of course would like opinions as I have refrained from posting in the news section since the mods layed down the rules and my run in with the so called Brain. I agree 100% with Neno on the news thread and this concerns the news that I watched.

Did anyone else see it, and if so am I off base or all washed up?
