We've been waiting for 3 1/2 yrs now and it keeps getting worse, he might
want to get a tricycle.
Bush could care less if the Iraqis are ready to take control, his biggest
concern is to pass of his mess to whoever he can pawn it off on so he can
look good come November.

Bush says Iraqis ready to ''take the training wheels off'' and take
political power

WASHINGTON (AP) Iraqis are ready to ''take the training wheels off'' and
assume political power from the U.S.-led coalition, President Bush said
Thursday as his administration began to roll out a rough plan for the June
30 transition of authority.
Bush went to Capitol Hill to brief anxious Republican lawmakers, warning of
more difficult days in Iraq even after the transfer of sovereignty.
''This has been a rough couple of months for the president, particularly on
the issues of Iraq, and I think he was here to remind folks that we do have
a policy and this policy is going to be tough,'' said Sen. Rick Santorum,
R-Pa. ''Things, as I think he commented, are very likely to get worse before
they get better.''

"From the brief time that we did spend occupying Iraqi territory
after the war, I am certain that had we taken all of Iraq, we would
have been like the dinosaur in the tar pit - we would still be there,
and we, not the United Nations, would be bearing the costs of
the occupation. This is a burden I am sure the beleaguered
American taxpayer would not have been happy to take on."
- Norman Schwarzkopf, from his 1993 autobiography, "It Doesn't
Take a Hero."
