I Doubt It'll Work

With only a month left before the June 30 deadline, the Miserable Failure is only now deciding to inform the American people about the (likely half-assed) plans for turning soverignty in Iraq over to the Iraqis. Since these plans weren't in place from the beginning, I fear that they're merely going to provide a veneer of progress so that Shrub will be able to pull troops out without (he hopes) completely trashing his approval ratings, already hovering below his disapproval marks.
