Lanny J. Davis great story of his memories as told to us. But what was the purpose of the letter?

Of course Bush wants to get us out as quickly as possible. I assume he wants to try to put Iraq behind him , some what settled down so he can move on soc sec and tax reform.

democrats are going to keep Iraq high on every agenda to stonewall anything Bush brings up. bush understands Iraq needs to take control and we need to start to pull back. I expect this is being worked out.

<< As far as I could tell, he never studied or worried much about his grades. He looked exactly the same then as today, without the gray hair. Same sardonic grin, always comfortable with himself, no sense of pressure, coasting intellectually. Yet when the term was over, he would get by — sometimes Bs, sometimes Cs. I could never figure how he did it without, apparently, ever opening a book.>>

Strange. I thought Bush was an idiot. So many people said so. <g>

<< In truth, if he ever makes that very difficult decision to get us out as quickly and humanely as possible, it would be consistent with the George Bush I remember, still like and admire>>

This is such crap. And totally ignores the longer world view and the disaster that quitting would result in.
