"..did President Bush downplay expectations for his new strategy in Iraq? President Bush seemed less confident in his rhetoric this morning in the Oval Office, using the word likely three times in one minute in describing the probability of success for his new Iraq strategy. “Of course, I had to think about what's likely to work. And so I worked with our military and I worked with Secretary Gates to come up with a plan that is likely to succeed. And the implementer of that plan is going to be General Petraeus. I've listened to lots of members of Congress. I've listened carefully to their suggestions. And I have picked the plan that I think is most likely to succeed." President Bush is usually much more resolute when talking about the situation in Iraq and the future there. He talks generally about how it is necessary to succeed/win in Iraq but on January 10 at Fort Benning, he said the U.S. “will succeed in Iraq." In nearly every campaign speech last fall, Bush declared that the U.S. will win in Iraq.... blogs.abcnews.com =========== Well NOW I feel excited. You'd think a former cheerleader could do better th an this. Harumph.
