Bush : If they ask, we'll leave...Q-How can Iraq be a "central front" in the WOT if you're willing..

to leave if asked?

THE PRESIDENT: We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government. This is a sovereign nation. Twelve million people went to the polls to approve a constitution. It's their government's choice. If they were to say, leave, we would leave.

....You can't have it both ways. If Iraq is the "Alamo" for defending America against the "bad guys", you're going to leave if the Iraqi Gov't asks you?

No. You can't leave. You're defending America from the terrorists..It's inconsistent to state you are fighting the good fight in Iraq, that you are defending America from attack by being there and then turn around and say we'll leave if they ask us. That is BS.

If you truly are defending America by being there I would expect you to say -- we ain't leaving ever until the enemy is defeated, unconditionally.

So to state that you'll leave if asked is just another example of your bogus BS war in Iraq...

1. When Asked Yesterday If He Had A Plan B.......
he said no - more like a Plan BH (for Baker Hamilton Commission). What he gave us yesterday was Plan BS.

4. Like most of what Bush says and does, when you really take a good look at it,
IT DOESN'T ADD UP.

7. Busholini isn't as stupid as people make him out to be.
He knows damn well that the Iraqi Govt. will never demand that the Occupation end. They will never do so because that would be their death sentence. That Green Zone would turn to blood red.
