Bush - Trying to Run Out the Clock

Bush and company have no idea how to resolve the mess they have made of Iraq. At this point, their only goal is to run out the clock and leave the mess for the next Administration to deal with.

They have found a willing frontman in General Petraeus, who appears to care more about his political future than the troops he commands.

Bush's new best buddy House Minority Leader Boehner is also more interested in scoring political points than in the lives of our troops.

Much Ado About Nothing: Bush Speech on Iraq Surge

The Center for American Progress sets the facts straight in advance of President Bush's speech to the nation September 13, 2007 on the troop surge policy in Iraq.
