It has been planned for sometime, and I wish they would have done it BEFORE the election for the bumpage, but Bush even said he didnt want to seem weak because the Dems have been howling for his resignation for a few years.

And they already said that we arent going to surrender which is what the dems want us to do. This is just Bush building up some credit with the lunatic left so he can try to punch through some other shit. But its all good, we arent leaving Iraq anytime soon. And I cant wait for the Dems to do their thing and try to cut Iraqs funding and impeach Bush, then they basically lose thier majority in 08 and another presidency.
