Bush says for first time that U.S. is not winning in Iraq
Advertisements [?]
WASHINGTON - Shortly before the elections that cost his party control of Congress, President George W. Bush asserted that "absolutely, we’re winning" in Iraq. Now, for the first time since the war began in 2003, Bush says that American forces are not winning.
Bush also agreed with those who contend that the military is stretched too thin to deal with the global war on terror, saying that he has asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates to come up with a plan for increasing the overall number of troops.
And the president acknowledged that he is considering a short-term surge in the number of troops in Iraq, an option that by some accounts worries top generals because of its questionable payoff and potential backlash.

Not sure if this is really news, or just reality being admitted... which would be NEWS.
