I doubt the notion that he is following a Bush plan, Sawz, and if the withdrawal was delayed by the situation on the ground, I am not surprised. Where is the Bush plan of which you speak?

But the larger issue here is that the insane policies of the Bush administration sent far more men to their death than 9/11 ever took from us. You kinda miss the big picture, if you see what I mean.

The question of whether the surge worked as promoted or whether it was the awakening within the ranks of the Iraqi people that made the difference remains open to debate. You may notice, also, that some Iraqis really don't want us to leave.

It was a serious policy error to invade Iraq and cost us millions of dollars, thousands of lives and an untold price in broken minds.
