God, I can't wait till 2008.
According to the Associated Press in this article , "Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered an immediate halt to all attacks - including those on American troops - if the United States agrees to withdraw foreign forces from Iraq in two years, insurgent and government officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday."
Bush's response? "a timetable is not something that is useful. It is a signal to the enemies that all you have to do is just wait and it's yours."
He makes me want to pull all of my hair out. This is a peace offering, the best--the only, as far as I'm informed--we've ever gotten and probably will ever get. Doesn't he see that if they stop killing, everything will start to get better and there will be no need for troops any more? Wouldn't it be wise to say, "ok, in two years, if this pact has been kept, we'll agree to pull out"?
Why does he want us there, WHY? Maybe it's just because I'm currently reading George Orwell's "1984," but I find myself very suspicious of his motives. Doesn't he see what this occupation is doing to both our countries? What good, what good at all, is this doing for the world?!? Whatever his reasons, I wish I could slap him around a little, just a little.
