Current Iraq policy in a visual nutshell

Upon returning from his surprise trip to Baghdad, President "I'm a high value target for some" Bush gestures like a confused and jet-lagged primate during a press conference Wednesday in the White House Rose Garden. Bush declined to discuss U.S. military strategy or suggest a timetable for bringing home the some 130,000 troops now in Iraq, instead electing to take the high road above evolving domestic politics surrounding the issue by utterly ignoring them–a strategy he hopes will serve him well until he's safely out of office.
