Bush isolation exposed by memo

Bush isolation exposed by memo: "President George W. Bush's isolation over Iraq deepened on Sunday following the publication of the leaked memo from sacked defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld calling for a 'major adjustment' in Iraq policy.

John Warner, the outgoing Republican chairman of the Senate armed services committee, told NBC's Meet the Press that the president should respect the will of the people, and seek agreement with the Democrat leaders of the new Congress on a new Iraq policy.

...

White House national security adviser Stephen Hadley on Sunday tried to play down the significance of the Rumsfeld memo, which was leaked to the New York Times and which included an option to 'begin modest withdrawals of US and coalition forces (start taking our hands off the bicycle seat)' — a policy shift favoured by the Democrats."
