The White House is already downplaying Sen. John Warner’s (R-Va.) suggestion of a small drawdown by Christmas. Asked whether Bush would leave the door open to setting a timetable, White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said, “I don’t think the president feels any differently about setting a specific timetable for withdrawal. I just think it’s important that we wait right now to hear from our commanders on the ground about the way ahead.”
John Warner, who cheered on the invasion of Iraq and who said the arrest of Saddam Hussein justified the invasion, is finally catching on. However, even though Mr. Warner wants only a small number of troops withdrawn in time for Christmas only to send the Iraqi government a message that we won't wait forever for them to get their act together, George will be waiting for the Petraeus report before he makes any decision. A report that George himself will write.
Thanks for your input Senator Warner. Now sit down.
