When will it end?

President Bush is now promoting his "Strategy for Victory in Iraq": http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/30_11_05_us_iraq.pdf

To be completely honest, I feel as if it is full of empty promises and vague goals. There is nothing specific, and it is a plan which seems to have our national interest deeply at its heart. We are not committed to the well-being of Iraq, but rather "democracy" in Iraq as a means to our own security and well-being. It really shouldn't be that simple: establish democracy in Iraq, and thus create order in the free world once again. We ought to be acknowledging the freedom of Iraqi people, not only our own. I'm very disillusioned with this whole war, and I think the rest of this country is growing restless with these empty promises as well.
