That's his "responsible" plan?

Democratic Senator Jack Reed, responding to the President's address last night, urged support for "a plan to responsibility and rapidly began a reduction of our troops in Iraq."

If Jack Reed can give a plan which would responsibility and rapidly reduce troops in Iraq, I'd love to see it. Last time I checked, an act which resulted in genocide is not one which is "responsible", which is what everyone involved agrees is the result of a rapid reduction of troops in Iraq.

U.S. President George W. Bush's announcement that he will withdraw some 21,500 soldiers from Iraq by mid-2008 drew angry fire from Democrats who said his plan amounted to an endless military commitment.

Rejecting calls for a swifter troop pullout, Bush told war-weary Americans in a televised address on Thursday that the troop "surge" strategy that he announced in January was working.

"Because of the measure of success we are seeing in Iraq, we can begin seeing troops come home," Bush said. "The more successful we are, the more American troops can return home."

Insisting the unpopular war can still be won, Bush said whoever succeeds him at the White House will likely inherit the conflict and warned against giving up on a fledgling ally that is "fighting for its survival."
