The President and His Policies Questioned (a blog)

Will it work?

There were allegations that were mentioned by the president in the Oval office that would seem preemptive. "I’m the decision-maker," said Bush on Friday. He challenged the ominous skepticism of the lawmakers to come up with a new plan, if indeed they were not going to give the presidents plan a go. Personally, I don't see how this new plan can save and protect our troops. Aren't we putting them in more danger's way by sending them to Iraq--2,500 troops to be exact? There is an agreement that would not render the debate as an impasse, but it is not enough for the president to totter his aquisitions to his opposers both in his favor and theirs.

Plan for change
What then is to be pursued? Both Army Lt. Gen. David Petraeus and the president agree that something needs to happen to improve the situation in Iraq, albeit the proposed plan seems dubious.
