U.S. lowers sights on what can be achieved in Iraq
The Bush administration is significantly lowering expectations of what can be achieved in Iraq, recognizing that the United States will have to settle for far less progress than originally envisioned during the transition due to end in four months, according to U.S. officials in Washington and Baghdad.
The United States no longer expects to see a model new democracy, a self-supporting oil industry or a society where the majority of people are free from serious security or economic challenges, U.S. officials say.
"What we expected to achieve was never realistic, given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground," said a senior official involved in policy since the 2003 invasion. "We are in a process of absorbing the factors of the situation we're in and shedding the unreality that dominated at the beginning."
In other words " THEY NEED TO GET THE HELL OUT.

Definately a one sided article to say the least. Things are progressing slower than expected due to insurgents, and not knowing just how bad Saddam neglected his own infrustructure.
And NO, it's not time to run like a Kerry!!!
