The New York Times article called Bush Gives Plan for Iraq Victory and Withdrawal ' by David Sanger outlines the recent speech by President Bush in which he attempted to lay down a plan for actions in Iraq . The Iraqi campaign that continues to rattle the world will probably be something global citizens will remember Bush by , so it is highly interesting to examine twists in the President 's policies concerning this nation . The speech delivered on Wednesday at the United States Naval Academy , Bush finally presented an effort to lay

out a plan that is part military , part political and part economic (Sanger 2005 . The journalist notes that this speech was very different from previous often casual comments that restated one thing over and over , and was focused on setting a coherent strategy

In his speech , Bush expressed his intention to repeat the Afghanistan policy , focusing American forces on terrorists who could reach beyond the country 's bs and leaving the Iraqis to deal with insurgents and the remnants of Saddam Hussein 's government (Sanger 2005 . This will include gradual reduction in the number of US troops in Iraq . Although in his speech Bush underscored that setting a definite timeline is wrong since artificial dates will not reflect the true situation , his written 35-page plan states that troops can leave the nation no sooner than after three years since Saddam 's deposition . Democrats were quick to criticize the speech , pointing out that one cannot speak of huge achievement in Iraq and insist on retaining the troops there . They also mentioned that the US presence in the nation itself raises incentives for indurgents

The political value of the article lies in the exploration shifts in Bush 's Iraq policy . The journalist highlights the most important moments of the President 's speech , at the same time juxtaposing it with the report . He also presents the event in a broader political context citing past opinions and perspectives . The issue is debated from two opposing sides , Democratic and Republican viepoint , which also helps to shed light on what is happening
