Speedy GonBush

President Bush has decided to speed up the transfer of security responsibility to the Iraqi government. He also assured al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, that America was not striving for a "graceful exit" out of the war. The Iraqi prime minister had become frustrated with Bush's hesitation in giving him the tools for protecting his people. Bush responded by saying, " He doesn't have the capacity to respond. So we went to accelerate that capacity."

The elections in November that gave the Democrats control over Congress gave rise to all of the calls made about American troops coming home. President Bush desires to begin troop withdrawals as soon as possible, but claims that he wants to "complete the job." Hopefully, our soldiers will be withdrawn within a short time period. Their labor in Iraq needs to be cut short. For some reason, I can't seem to discover why their presence is needed there.
