Courage and resolve

The President called for courage and resolve to end our fight against jihadists in Iraq according to Jon Ward of the Washington Times;

President Bush yesterday told the country — on the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq — that America can still achieve victory there, while Democrats in Congress said the United States has already failed.
    “Four years after this war began, the fight is difficult, but it can be won. It will be won if we have the courage and resolve to see it through,” Mr. Bush said in an eight-minute speech from the Roosevelt Room in the White House.
    Mr. Bush, who decided over the weekend to mark the Iraq war’s fourth anniversary, said that his plan to send 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq and Afghanistan must be given “months, not days or weeks” to succeed.

Not understanding either word, Dingy Harry Reid ran over three Congressional pages to get to a microphone;

    But Democratic leaders in Congress said they want the roughly 140,000 U.S. troops currently in Iraq to begin leaving soon.
    “After four years of failure in Iraq, the president’s only answer is to do more of the same,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat. “To succeed in Iraq, we must have a new direction.”

So what’s your recommendation, Harry? I haven’t heard any plan other than immediate and unconditional surrender to al Qaida from the Left.

While Steny Hoyer “slavishly” parrots the party line about a time schedule;

“Many of the same Republican leaders to plead about time frames were saying we need an exit strategy in Bosnia before we go,” Hoyer said.

And, Slavish Steny, the Democrats also had an opinion counter to the one they hold now on time schedules for withdrawal. Where are the Democrats on a time schedule to withdraw from Bosnia and Kosovo today?
