Using the war for political gain...

Well according to the NY Times, the Bush administration is planning a withdrawal from Iraq, (although the White House is denying this). Seems to me (Jared), the GOP is waiting until closer to election time to declare "mission accomplished" and use it to attack their opponents with an argument with the message : "see the Democrats wanted to leave before the victory, we stayed and we knew if we continued on with the surge we would win".....
Tony Snow of course is denying all of this.
