The President has "Dismissed" us
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060615/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush;_ylt=AvHhB3pdwhtQx_goQV8f6D6s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3OXIzMDMzBHNlYwM3MDM-

WASHINGTON - President Bush, just back from Iraq, dismissed calls for a U.S. withdrawal as election-year politics and refused to give a timetable or benchmark for success that would allow troops to come home.

"It's bad policy," Bush said in a Rose Garden news conference Wednesday, about six hours after he returned from Iraq. "I know it may sound good politically. It will endanger our country to pull out of Iraq before we accomplish the mission."
-----------------

There you have it, we've been dismissed by the president. I guess that means we can all go home now.

Oh---and I thought we HAD accomplished the mission, is this a FLIP FLOP?

1. He accomplished HIS mission!
To rule Iraq, that is what the little suprise visit was supposed to show.

3. The bloviator in chief said
"Mission accomplished"

He was either lying then or he's lying now.
