Flashback to Bush in '99:

Anyways, I'm pissed he's playing politics over this. Hell, it's a NON-BINDING TIMELINE dependant on improvements made in Iraq!

Good. Why only decide to support the troops with what they need if you have to have the stipulation of a withdrawl date.

How about support your sons of freedom regardless?
