I agree that more people would be supportive, but are you kidding, even he doesn't know what exactly those efforts are! Remember, this is Bush we're talking about.
I, personally, don't need to hear anymore from him, I've heard enough. The reasons we're there in the first place are irrelevant at this point. Whether it's right or wrong, the fact is that we went in and overthrew their government, so it is up to us to make sure they can stand on their own before we leave. We took it upon ourselves to make their country right, so we need to do that. In my opinion, if we left right now, started pulling our troops out tomorrow, all those that have already died would have died in vain. They gave their lives for a cause and that cause was to help better Iraqi lives, we need to stay there until that end is achieved. The good people of Iraq are working hard to turn their country into a democracy, which will supposedly improve their lives, and I feel they are making great strides, but they aren't ready to stand on their own yet. It's our fault that that innocent Iraqis are being killed just for getting on a bus and going to work, and that, in my mind, is justification enough for us being there.
And frankly, I'm rather sick and tired of hearing Bush's whiney voice, so no thanks, I don't need any more explanations out of him. I'd be happy if he'd just shut up and crawl in a hole for the rest of his term. 
Oh, and I forgot to say...thanks for the support guys, I thought I was the only one that had this opinion. The news channels all seem to be supportive of her, so I really thought I was alone in this opinion. 
I also have to add (now you've got me all riled up about Bush...and I'm supposed to be working!
), I think it is majorly wrong of him to go on "vacation" while we have young men dieing for his cause! He's the one that started all this and he sends our young innocent young people to fight his war - and then he goes on vacation! The gaul!
