NYT: We Have Our Own Timetable Mr. Bush

I hope Bush is enjoying his trip abroad (sarcasm). Maybe he thinks his absence will make our hearts grow fonder. He needs to think again.

Today's New York Times gives Dubya some much needed advice.

But Dubya doesn't read, so what the Times is really doing is contributing to the ever-growing momentum of anti-Bush sentiment that is going to make Republicans everywhere pay bigtime for the sins of the worst president ever.

As the Times observes, Republicans are running scared because they understand very well that they are going to pay.

No matter how the White House chooses to spin it, the United States Senate cast a vote of no confidence this week on the war in Iraq. And about time. . . .

President Bush has lost the confidence of the American people, and his own party, when it comes to handling Iraq. If he wants to win it back, he must come up with a very clear road map for what he expects, both politically and militarily, from the Iraqi government. If the Iraqis fail to meet those goals, he must demonstrate that the price of equivocation is American withdrawal.

If the president fails, the American public has a timetable of its own. Elections for the House and the Senate are less than a year away.
