Bush Says Iraq Pullout Would Be 'A Disaster'

Bush Says Iraq Pullout Would Be 'A Disaster'

But would it?

I watched Shrub's press conference on TV yesterday and his impassioned diatribe and adamant statement that we will not leave so long as he is president. The problem is he got us into this mess and now he can't get out of it. He and his cronies continuously paint a rosy picture of our supposed progress toward Democracy in Iraq. What he doesn't know or chooses to ignore is the real truth about what is happening there. Soldiers home from leave are telling those they know what is really happening and journalists I am sure are telling others what is happening. They may not be able to say it on air but I know for sure that the truth is being told.
The problem as I see it is not so much that we don't know what is really happening, but how in the world we can extricate ourselves form this hopeless situation and save face? We are damned if we do and we are damned if we don't. It is a catch 22 situation.
The only thing we can do is to continue to increase the pressure on those in government and those in power to persuade them that the American people are sick and tired of this scherade and there must be an end.
Ain't that the truth?
