Bush response to Iraq's plan to help us out of the quagmire?
This weekend, as you've no doubt read, Iraq offered an approach to ending the U.S. occupation of Iraq: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13521628/site/newsweek/

It's a huge opportunity for Bush to get out without completely losing face (relatively speaking, of course). But does he have the sense and/or decency (relatively speaking, of course) to put an end to the madness?

Has anyone heard any indications of how the White House is going to handle this?

All I've heard from them today is bitching about the New York Times catching them in yet another mass-spying scandal: http://vastleft.blogspot.com/2006/06/war-is-over-if-bush-wants-it.html

How do you think they're going to play this?

3. Any guess as to how it's going to shake out?
This is a huge opportunity for them to improve their standing.

Are they going to take advantage of it in some way? I can't read the tea leaves at all on this...
