Budget forecasts
In a rare moment of candor, Bush acknowledged the obvious:
George Bush yesterday raised the vision of an American troop presence in Iraq that would extend for the next three years, an admission that a US withdrawal was unlikely during his term in the White House.
With US forces entering their fourth year in the country since the invasion, Mr Bush's comments suggest he foresees a longer military commitment in Iraq than that experienced by troops in the second world war or the Korean war.
As long as we're confronting reality, I suggest Bush revisit his annual pledge to cut the deficit in half in five years to include the ongoing costs of war.
