I’d add more about the number of troops exiting, conditions for the pullout, and even gloat about Bush & Company finally agreeing to a timetable, but why? The truth is, at the insistence of the Iraqi Government, there is now a timetable for American forces to exit Iraq.

And anything George Bush says or does is really irrelevant. By this time next year he will be out of office and, despite the horrible damage his administration has done to this country, America will pick up the pieces and trudge on.
