When Kerry was accused of setting "timetables" and of secretly planning to pull out of Iraq, it was "cutting and running". Now that Bush is openly doing it, what will Citizen F call it? Leadership, I'm guessing.
==Bush Sets Target for Transition In Iraq Country's Troops to Take Lead This Year

President Bush vowed for the first time yesterday to turn over most of Iraq to newly trained Iraqi troops by the end of this year, setting a specific benchmark as he kicked off a fresh drive to reassure Americans alarmed by the recent burst of sectarian violence.==

SALEM, Va. - A high school student Tuesday recited 8,784 digits of Pi — the non-repeating and non-terminating decimal — likely placing him among the top Pi-reciters in the world.
Gaurav Rajav, 15, had hoped to recite 10,790 digits and set a new record in the United States and North America. But he remembered enough to potentially place third in national and North American Pi recitation and 12th in the world.
His ranking should be verified by the Pi World Ranking List within two months.
"I'm kind of disappointed, but I guess I did OK," said Gaurav, a junior at Salem High School.

Found this article, thought you would find it both amusing and interesting...

Interesting. I bet you could also find similarities between religion and mashed potatoes if you liked, or conceivably even between science and Intelligent Design. I remember in high school Author wrote a paper comparing mosquito candles to nuclear warfare. And I just typed "warface" and corrected it twice before managing warfare.
So the debt ceiling is now about $9 trillion, and I bet it'll be raised again at least twice before Bush is out. Good thing the "fiscal conservatives" have gotten their way, or we'd be in really bad shape.
Democratic Talking Points and "blind trust" in Howard Dean claim another victim:
"William Odom, a retired lieutenant general who ran Army intelligence and later the National Security Agency during the Reagan administration, has called the Iraqi adventure 'the greatest strategic disaster in our history.'"

My 9:11 comment was wrong, Bush is now apparently saying that we will be in Iraq for years, though who knows what we'll be doing there since the "desperate" insurgency was in its "last throes" so many months ago.
