Thank You, Mr. President

Congratulations to President Bush!

Three days of testimony from General Petreaus and Ambassador Crocker have made it crystal clear that he was right all along. Mission Accomplished!

I bet you never thought you would hear me say that! But, I’ve been thinking. We all know that George Bush and Dick Cheney will never admit they were wrong about Iraq. Never. And we know they won’t bring our troops home unless it can be called a success.

So, let’s call it a success! Great job, Mr. President! Victory in Iraq!

Now, he can start bringing our troops home right away. Why wait until June 2008, like we hear he’ll announce tonight. We’ve been so successful already, we can bring America’s brave men and women home ahead of schedule.

Start withdrawal right away. Bring a significant number of troops home by Thanksgiving. Even more by Christmas. And the last of them by the end of the year. A bold leader could do it, that’s why we know he’ll make it happen.

No need for more lame duck rhetoric and the same old empty promises. When President Bush says tonight that because of all the incredible success we’ve had in Iraq, he’ll support troop withdrawals; we’re going to take him at his word. Clearly the President wants Congress to Fund Withdrawal, Not the War!

You can join the President and his call to bring our troops home. Sign the petition to Congress right now:

Then ask two of your friends to join the President and pressure Congress to follow through and start bringing the troops home. With the President on our side, we can finally start to put Iraq behind us.

Thank you, Mr. President for finally supporting the troops.
