Search term: A Bush Retreat?; Result: {{item |author=The Wall Street Journal editorial board |source=The Wall Street Journal |date=November 9, 2006 |url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116303421728718013.html |quote="Mr. Gates is a capable public servant with broad security experience. But much of that experience is with the CIA, which has misjudged the nature of the enemy throughout this conflict. Mr. Gates is also on the Baker-Hamilton study group that Congress established to examine policy options for Iraq, and we hope his nomination doesn't mean Mr. Bush has already signed onto its soon-to-be-released recommendations." }}

Yes, there is. The lawmakers should hold Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates strictly to account for monitoring the action -- or inaction -- of the Maliki government." }}
