Bush sees tide turning in Iraq

Apparently, the Prez has been reading my stuff! This story is by the Washington Times:

President Bush yesterday said his strategy to send more troops to
Iraq is turning the tide in favor of U.S. and Iraqi forces and rebutted claims
by a top Democrat that the war is lost. "The direction
of the fight is beginning to shift," Mr. Bush said in a speech at East Grand
Rapids High School in Michigan. "Day by day, block by block, Iraqi and American
forces are making incremental gains in Baghdad."

And he acknowledged the violence as well:

Mr. Bush acknowledged the violence and said that since he began
sending the first of about 30,000 reinforcements in January, "we have seen some
of the highest casualty levels of the war"... "This is a
difficult period in our nation's history," Mr. Bush said. "It's natural to wish
there was an easy way out, that we could just pack up and bring our troops home
and be safe. Yet in Iraq, the easy road would be a road to disaster.

This is certainly the enemy's Tet Moment, where they try to break America's will at home, but it could also be our Battle of the Bulge. Again lets wait and give our troops and President the confidence and resources to continue the good fight, and greatly eliminate the possibility of a repeat 9/11.
