Bush: Three more years of war

"America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins," Bush said to the audience of uniformed U.S. Navy midshipmen. "America will not abandon Iraq so long as I am commander in chief."-- President Bush in today's speech.

Prepare yourself for three more years of American casualties as we pursue this no-win strategy.

UPDATE:
Russ Feingold reacts: “While today’s speech by the President was billed as yet another attempt to lay out a plan for finishing the military mission in Iraq, the only new thing the administration gave the American people was a glossy 35-page pamphlet filled with the same rhetoric we’ve all heard before. Today’s action by the White House isn’t a step forward, it’s a step back. In fact the booklet the administration released to accompany the President’s speech is described as a “…document [that] articulates the broad strategy the President set forth in 2003…” That alone makes it clear that the President seems more dug in than ever to the same old “stay the course” way of thinking. This is not a strategy, and it certainly is not a plan to complete the military mission in Iraq."
