Turning The Corner! Turning, Turning, Turning...

Give it up, already.

President Bush said today the war in Iraq has reached a "turning point" with the formation of a unity government Saturday in Baghdad, but he suggested the conflict may be far from over.

"Our nation's been through three difficult years in Iraq. And the way forward will bring more days of challenge and loss," Bush said in an address to a restaurant trade group in Chicago. "The terrorists did not lay down their arms after three elections in Iraq and they will continue to fight this new government. And we can expect the violence to continue."

More than 2,400 U.S. soldiers have died since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Let's get real: Until we pull out of Iraq, there's not going to be any "turning point". The violence didn't stop after the last couple elections, and it ain't gonna stop now that there's a new government.

In related news, John Murtha is my hero. Seriously, that guy has got major guts.

war, iraq, president asshat
