So what did you all think of President Bush’s speech? Did he go far enough in explaining the exit strategy? What were the questions that he did not answer for you? One of my main bones of contention is the military aspect of it all. Let’s say, after we hand over power on June 30 an American general decides we need to go into Karbala to take down a terrorist safe house. Who makes that decision? Is it the US military/government or the Iraqi? I am just using this as an example to illustrate that this speech has really only raised more questions for me. I was a supporter of the war but my patience for the occupation is dwindling. I am also having a little trouble understanding why he is so obsessed with creating democracy in a country and region of the world, that I believe, is either incapable of comprehending it or that out-right does not want it. Please share your thoughts and/or questions you would like the president to answer for you that he did not.
