"Inside the Bush administration policymaking apparatus, there is strong feeling that U.S. troops must leave Iraq next year. This determination is not predicated on success in implanting Iraqi democracy and internal stability. Rather, the officials are saying: Ready or not, here we go."
Bush knows his war has been a mistake, and he's going to cut and run, but he's not willing to admit that publicly until after his reelection. This is indicative of his true priorities, staying in power comes first. How many GI's will die between now and our exit from Iraq?? Their blood will be on Bush's hands.
