Freebasing

White House spokesman Tony Snow yesterday said Mr. Bush envisions an indefinite American military presence in Iraq that would resemble the one in South Korea, with the U.S. in a support role able to "react quickly to major challenges or crises." That presumes, though, that an Iraqi government would request or at least tolerate such a deployment, as the South Koreans have.

As a proud and independent people, Iraqis do not support an indefinite occupation -- and neither does America.

George W. Bush 4/13/2004

When you refuse to set a definite time for getting out, you are supporting an indefinite occupation.

Greetings from Planet Wha???

The Middle East looked nice and cozy for awhile.

Really it did? When exactly was that time again, Mr. Straw Man? And why all the sudden interest in Bin Laden when back in 2002 you weren't concerned with finding him? Would that be considered a flip-flop?

Here's the only beneficial thing to come out of the press conference:

Contradiction #3,738

“I think if we see some very positive progress and it looks like things are headed in the right direction,” Mr. Gates said, “then that’s the point at which I think we can begin to consider reducing some of these forces.” Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates - 5/9/2007

"I think everybody recognizes there still are serious security problems, security threats, no question about it. But the impression I got from talking with them ... is that they do believe we are making progress, but we've got a long way to go." Vice President Dick Cheney - 5/9/2007

So what's the hold up? If progress is being made, begin the redeployment. If not, we should have begun it a long time ago.

Hopefully it won't take 37 years to find out the truth this time.
