In it to win it. Or until someone else does.

The president held a press conference this morning in the White House press room, part of his new campaign to win support for the Iraq war by endlessly repeating the same talking points. Another corner turned…

He was asked a question on how long the US will be locked into the Iraqi quagmire and remarkably he seemed to give an honest answer. C&L has the video.

Q: Will there come a day, and I’m not asking you when -I’m not asking for a timetable. Will there come a day when there will be no more American forces in Iraq?”

BUSH: That, of course is an objective, and that will be decided by future presidents and future governments of Iraq.

Meaning our men and women in uniform will keep dying in that country for a long long time. The AP has more.
