He can say that all he wants but, with our system of government, he has three years to wind this up. The enemy knows this and only needs to mark time until the next election. If they are smart, and I believe they are, they will do nothing to piss off the american public, such as 9-11. That would be self-defeating.

I have to painflully agree with what you have said here. I don't think the majority of the American populace, is aware of how true the President's statements are.
If this happens, Katy bar the door!

Prediction:
Barring unforseen circumstances, during the next Presidential election, both candidates will run on bringing the troops home, "Peace with Honor", and "Iraqitization" of the war.

Yep!! You spell that "Vietnamization".
We need to do away with FDR's ammendment and allow the elected Government to carry out their programs to completion. There can be continuity in the Legislative and Judicial Branches and IMHO there needs to be more continuity in the Executive Branch. If it were known that Bush were there until the GWOT is brought to a conclusion there would be more incentive for our enemies to rethink their positions,\.
