I missed his speech. I only quickly read through a transcript of the first half this morning.

I find it interesting that once again he's going against the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group.

That being said, I don't know enough about the situation to know if his plan is realistic, but my first reaction was, "this could actually help?!?!" Or perhaps I'm just pleasantly surprised that he said he is taking some responsibility and trying something different when things clearly aren't working?

I'll have to read the rest later and really digest it but, my off the cuff reaction is actually slightly optimistic. (or just in shock... not sure which [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] )
