Bush: 'Fewer American forces' possible in Iraq

On a surprise visit to an Iraqi air force base on Monday, President Bush said that it may be possible to maintain the current level of security in Iraq with a fewer number of troops. Im glad to see that many more of our troops will most likely be coming home soon, but I am just as glad to see that they may be coming home based on results of the war effort rather than cowardly politicians' reactions to protests and negative media. I am 100% percent for bringing the troops home asap but I am not ignorant enough to think that a hasty mass withdrawal is a good idea.

"In other words, when we begin to draw down troops from Iraq, it will be from a position of strength and success, not from the position of fear and failure," said President Bush.

It is easy to see that all of the troops are in good spirits and believe in the efforts that THEY are making for US. The only people that seem to be against the war effort are those that are watching from the outside and making judgements based solely on what they see on CNN. Whether you respect the leader of our country or not, those that are fighting to make our country a safer place for people like you and me deserve your unbridled support and prayers. Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion, but before you make an assumption or negative comment about the war effort, stop to think about what is important.

With this in mind I'm proud to see that our President has a backbone and is commited to doing what is right and best for our country rather than what is popular.
