I respectfully disagree with what President Bush had to say. I don't think that the safety of America depends at all on the extended presence of U.S. troops in Iraq.
There was no reason for us to become involved in Iraq recently. That was a war based on lies and misrepresentations from London and from Washington, claiming falsely that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, claiming falsely that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. A decision was made to go to war, their people said, let's find a reason to do so.
But my hope is that there will be some clarification of what the United States is doing now and what they will be doing in the future.
I don't think so. Maybe he'll change his mind when he sees the recommendation of the upcoming committee Monday morning.
