The Decider

A quote this morning from George W. Bush…

The strategy is to help the Iraqi people achieve the objectives and dreams, which is a democratic society. That's the strategy. The tactics — now — either you say yes it's important we stay there and get it done or we leave. We're not leaving so long as I'm the president. That would be a huge mistake. It would send an unbelievably, you know, terrible signal to reformers across the region. It would say we've abandoned our desire to change the conditions that create terror.

We're not leaving so long as he's the president. For those of you not near a calendar, that means — in the absence of impeachment — 882 days from now.
