Keeping those pipelines knocked out. At least they understand what the U.S. goal is, if Americans don't.


Update 5:45 pm:
"Despite ongoing acts of violence, Iraq now has a strong prime minister, a National Council, and national elections are scheduled in January," Bush said at a campaign rally.

Bush vowed that the United States would help Iraq move towards the elections scheduled in January next year.

"We will help them move towards elections, we will get them on the path of stability and democracy as quickly as possible, and then our troops will return home with the honors they have earned," Bush said.
