Tomorrow night, President Bush will adress the nation
by Corina Ciubotaru
President Bush is expected to make a speech these days about whether or not he is going to order the return of some troops from Iraq. Following statements by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker on Tuesday, the President is expected to make a decision and some suggest that although he agrees with the troop leader that some soldiers should be sent home, the conditions for this return will be strict. It will depend on future results achieved by Iraq and may not even happen at some point. It's also unclear how many troops will come home in each wave suggested by Petraeus, but the general himself insisted there should be no hasty decisions in regard to their return. Mr. Bush will also underline the progress made in the Anbar province in the TV speech that will be held at 2100 local time on Thursday. The Democrats are already disappointed by the ever more likely decision to keep soldiers stationed in Iraq, but the number of attacks has decreased since the 30,000 additional troops arrived in the last surge. This is the major reason for keeping the soldiers there and it will probably be the strongest argument in favor of this decision. Tomorrow night we will find out if these speculations turn out to reflect the President's view completely. He still wants to give the impression that he is in control and this speech is meant to do just that, even though most of America's targets for Iraq haven't been met during the four-year war.
