John Dickerson states that Bush could very well be readying a pre-November announcement that the troops will be coming home, consequently boosting GOP poll numbers just in time for elections.

However, if that occurs, Dems should remember this Bush quote from two days ago: "My message to the enemy is, don't count on us leaving before we succeed."

If he does declare pre-November that troops will be heading home, Dems should repeat this quote and look for credible evidence that we have indeed succeeded in Iraq. Failing that, then Bush is cutting and running -- and lying to the public once again.
