'We're not leaving, so long as I'm president,' emphatic Bush says

So... forget an exit date, Bush is planning on leaving the exit strategy for his war (started in 2003) for the next president (who will be elected in 2009). "If we withdraw before the job is done, the enemy will follow us here'' To make sure he made his point, Bush also said it would be "wrong,'' "a disaster,'' "a big mistake,'' a move that would "embolden extremists,'' "embolden Iran,'' "send a terrible signal,'' send "a wrong signal,'' "create a more dangerous world'' and threaten the United States.
