President Bush has been steadfast in his position on Iraq, we have seen some straying off course over the past 2 days as the President has agreed to establish benchmarks. “One message I have heard from people of both parties is that benchmarks make sense and I agree,” Bush said. The administatrion plans to set up meeting with the Presidents Chief of Staff and members of congress, in order to agree upon a series of benchmarks.

House Republicans are doing the right thing by telling the President their position, like most Americans they are equally tired of the war. As well GOP needs to consider what their actions today will do to impact their 2008 election prospects.

Republicans and the House of Represenatatives

In 2008 the GOP is setting its sights on regaining control of the House of Represenatatives and making Nancy Pelosi into the new minority leader. An article on the NRCC website explains how they plan on doing it.

They believe they will be able to gain a majority in the House by winning several races in the Northeast.

The NRCC says that the would be alright with wining the House and not the Presidency in 2008.
