We're not leaving Iraq...

The take-away comment from the Bush press conference this morning was as follows: "We're not leaving as long as I'm the President." He kept insisting that if we brought our soldiers home the bad guys would follow them here. He sounded like LBJ defending our presence in Vietnam after most of us knew that the war was over...and we had lost.

In the meantime, John McCain is saying we need more troops on the ground in Iraq. At least the choices for voters in November are becoming clearer.

Update:

Here is what Billmon has to say about Bush.
