Monday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said he would like to set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops. The Bush administration rejected the timetable. In an April 24, 2007 interview with Charlie Rose, however, President Bush said he would remove troops if asked by Iraq, but he predicted that Maliki would not ask for a withdrawal.

      Brilliant ...

      I think is gets messed up because the link has single quotes (') in it.

      I don't think it will work, but I put this here anyway --

      http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/08/in-2007-bus...

      If I open the link from the ThinkProgress main page, it works.

      But, I think Propeller is "reinterpreting" the special characters (') imbedded in the link. and thus the link gets hosed up.

      Sorry about that!!

      HERE is how to get to the story --

      Go to http://www.thinkprogress.org

      The story was added to the main page on July 8th at 3:05 pm.

      At some point, the main page may switch to only stories posted on July 9.

      If that happens and the story is not on the main page, do a search (upper right) on "In 2007 Bush promised" - the first link on the search results is THE story.

      Also, here is the Digg link to the 2007 story --

        And ... here is the transcript segment from the Charlie Rose interview --

        ROSE: But if he said get out now, we don't want you anymoreâ;;

        BUSH: I don't see how we could stay. It is his country.

        ROSE: But if he said that, it would lead to the catastrophe that you have suggested.

        BUSH: That's why he's not going to say it.

        ROSE: You don't think he'll say it?

        BUSH: I don't. No, I don't.

          The republican code words "real guy" and "straight shooter" really mean "narrowminded self indulgent a-hole" and "liar."
