Not Going to Leave

Bush (approximate transcript, too lazy to rewind the Tivo):

As long as I am president we are not leaving Iraq.


For those keeping score, that's another 5 more Friedmans at least. Which means Bush doesn't believe there's any way that his "plan" (whatever the hell that is) will "succeed" in under two and a half years.

...Think Progress sez the precise quote is:

We’re not leaving [Iraq] so long as I’m the president.


People don't understand that this is, in fact, the plan. To stay.
