US President George W. Bush has announced that the United States will not be leaving Iraq during his presidency, RAW STORY has learned.
"Either you say, 'Yes it’s important we stay there and get it done,' or we leave," Bush argued. "We’re not leaving so long as I’m the president. That would be a huge mistake."
At a news conference today, Bush also conceded that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.
Bush opened his remarks at 10 AM, announcing that the nation would be offering $230 million in aid to Lebanon. The president also called for fast deployment of an international peacekeeping force.
Late in the conference, when asked what Iraq's role was in the World Trade Center attacks, the president said, "Nothing."
But he went on to suggest that by overthrowing Saddam Hussein's regime, the United States could forestall future acts of terrorism by defeating resentment with hope, "and the best way to do hope is through a form of government."
I hope all the Republican voters caught that last part. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but a lot of Republicans still believe that Saddam planned the 9-11 attacks.
Don't put your hope with the Democratic party because I doubt if they would impeach him. We're stuck with Bush for 2 more years and I hope we do not have a terror attack before that time.
