Iraq Election Date Will Stand.
Good move -or- bad move on Bush's part?

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Thursday that Iraq's elections must not be delayed from their scheduled date of Jan. 30, rejecting calls from more than a dozen political parties there to postpone them until security at the polls can be ensured.
"It's time for Iraqi citizens to go to the polls," Bush told reporters in the Oval Office at the start of a meeting with Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Bush also weighed in on the matter of the election crisis in Ukraine, saying more forcefully than he had previously that other countries must not meddle as that country sorts through the disputed vote.

I'm still kind of torn on this, being he has a history of being stubborn and never wanting to change anything he does. Because he thinks it will make him look weak, but I think this date needs to stand.
The faster we can get a government in place and help them finally move on, the faster we can bring our troops home where they should be.

I also think the date has to stand for the same reasons that ericdared81 stated above, although I think it is going to be a particularily nasty time over there.
I just hope our guys stay safe.
