I say something like "Story mostly driven by the internal Iraqi controversy about mechanism for formation of new Iraqi government. Many mullahs in Iraq are calling for full elections now, as opposed to Bush's ideas for coalition govenrment as a warm-up."
"So, Bush is taking proposals. He's open to people's ideas. But, he's not willing to go with an idea that leads to a longer presence that what he was planning."

But why is Bush ruling out a longer presence? Doesn't that concern you? It concerns me. I don't see realistic signs that the Iraqis will be ready to run the country by the deadline, and that is the $64,000 question. If you blow the transition, haven't you pissed away the entire opportunity that the war was (really) about? Now that we're there, we need to do the job right, and that may mean staying until it's going to work.

Maybe you ought to read your posts to make sure that they contain the substance you mean. Someone appears to be inserting a lot of petty crap about "spin."
