The Bush Family consiglieri, James Baker is working on options for Iraq. Will Bush LISTEN ?

Iraqi president defies Bush by ordering troops out of Sudr City, Shia slums, instead of moving to disarm Shia militia.  It is becoming apparent even Iraqis are out of patience with Americans.  So Bush hasn't much choice.

They are towards leaving Iraq.  They really don't have a plan right now.  They wanted to use scare tactics against Americans, so they get the vote.  As of now, I haven't heard any plans yet.

I do not think President Bush will allow us to invade Iran right now.  There's too much going on in Iraq right now.  I think he'll leave it to the next President to decide.  Too many people want our soliders to come home.

He should be a Humvee driver.\n\nMy son is dead and I don't have a grandson and I damn sure wouldn't go to Iraq and I am a Vietnam veteran with 8 years active service.\n\nI am only aware of perhaps 3 members of the House or Senate who have had a son in Iraq in the past 3 years:\n\nSen. Tim Johnson (D-South Dakota), whose son Brooks serves in the Army. \n\nTwo more Congressmen had sons who REPORTEDLY were sent to Iraq in late 2003 or early 2004: Representatives Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) and Duncan Hunter (R-California).

I believe it was Sunni's who made the offer.  And this is another political move by the Sunni's. After they turned in Zarqarwi, they gained political seats, most importantly, Minister of Defense.  I haven't seen Pres. Bush's comments on the proposal.  This is the make or break time for the Iraqi government.  I hope something positive comes from this.  On the one hand, if Bush negotiates, he is negotiating with the terrorist and people will say they won.  If he doesn't, then he isn't really trying to get the troops out.  No matter what everyone is in an awkward position.  Hopefully, the end result no matter what is stability in the Iraqi government.  So I hope he talks to the Sunni's, even if they are pointing terrorism at us.  However, this doesn't solve the problem of terrorist from other countries.  Perhaps this will make the Sunni's obligated in helping to combat foreign terrorists.

Stand firm on getting Iraq self sufficient.  Don't back down just because people are bellyaching.  Finish what was started and just take the critisism.  Future generations will appreciate GWB for his tenacity even though our generation is blinded by the trees and can't see the forest.

YOU are correct..bush...like his father, is a war-monger!  Bush thinks he is above the law, he has forgotten that it was american citizens (59 million jackasses that is) who put him there...oh, wait a minute....Jeb Bush helped put him there...that's right!  Anyway...Bush has no conscience, no idea what a front line is like...the horrorr of war, the physical and psychological consequences our soldiers will have to endure long after leaving IRAQ...IT's all about MONEY!!!!!!!!!! (OIL=Money).  Therefore American lives are not important...they weren't important to him in New Orleans, and they are not important to him in IRAQ!

they will not be as easily led as the republicans and may have several investigations of what the white house has been doing for the last six years. impeachment may be off the table, but exposing bush as the dictator he would like to be is a definite possibility. remember, the republicans refused to perform ANY oversight of the white house and what it was doing. the dems will not be so compliant.

No. I think that this is something personal for Bush. It's a "I'm President now and I'm gonna get you back for trying to kill my dad" type thing. Also, we all know that there is plenty of oil over there. Well what is Bush's family biz? You guessed it, OIL. We did what we set out to do over there. We got Saddam out of power and we should've helped, not take over. I'm not a very political person , but this whole conflict and the deaths of so many people just makes me and I know alot of you wonder what is really going on

With Bush at the wheel, who knows?

It's about time.  But, his ratings have plummeted along Bush's and he needs to come clean or they will beat him up over there more than they already have.  Bush's "lap poodle" has made the other turn around about admitting to the disaster of Global Warming, so maybe he "got  religion."  If we had such candor here it would be refreshing, but that is only coming  from democrats  and conservatives like Bill Buckley who calls this war "lunacy."  But, Bush and Cheney are not interested in what we think, nor do they care.  They are sailing along with their plan for the plunder of  Iraq and the US Treasury, and it will only end when  he leaves office and all of Halliburton's contracts expire.

Saddam was a friend to Reagan and Bush Sr., because during the time of their respective presidencies, Iraq was at war with Iran, and the US government supported Iraq and the Saddam Regime. One theory is that the CIA, and the US government, gave Saddam the OK to invade Kuwait because the Kuwaiti government had plans of screwing with the oil supply. However, Saddam went too far, and so the US military had to reel him in and put a short leash on him.\n\nThe theory is actually rather plausible, considering that Bush Sr is an advisor to the Carlyle Group, in which the Bin Laden family heavily invests; and considering that James Baker, the Secretary of State under Bush Sr., and whose law firm, Baker Botts, represents foreign oil interests and lobbyists. (As a side note, isn't it interesting that James Baker is now heading the so called Iraq Study Group, to develop a new strategy for the war in Iraq? And, isn't it equally interesting the Baker Botts law firm defended the Bin Laden family against the law suit brought on by the families of the 9-11 victims?)

I feel our president is on track with Iraq.  It's a touch and go situation right now but from what I have seen and read I feel we are on track.  If it were possible I would like to see Iraqi troops and police taking over more responsibility of there country and maybe help them more than we have to accomplish this goal.  We know they want there freedom, are willing to die for it and hope we can help them achieve there goals.  So other than that there is not much I would or would try to change.  I have faith in our military and our president's actions.\n\nGood question.

His exit can't come soon enough. Hopefully, Americans won't be stupid enough to put Jeb Bush in his place. (Are these clowns the ones who make baked beans?) Oh, they couldn't be because the beans would be half-baked.

You tell the Iraqi government they have until, say,  6 months from now to get off their duffs and take over their own security.  \n\nWe gradually recede into the background.  \n\nIf the Iraqis stand up and do the job, good for them.  If they don't, too bad.\n\nIt's that simple.  It's what the Dims have been saying for quite some time, but because the Bush administration cannot admit a mistake, they cannot admit that something besides their "stand there and take it" strategy might possibly work.

Looks quite easy to me. All you have to do is follow the foot steps of that Iraqi Chalabi. Feed false intelligence about nukes and WMDs to Bush. He would be very glad to invade your country.
