Press Gaggle by Steve Hadley, Dan Bartlett and Tony Snow 3/8/07 (Topic: Iraq)
— Thursday, March 08, 2007 — Q Are you in touch with the Republican leadership? MR. BARTLETT: Absolutely. We've stayed closely coordinated with the Republican leadership. It's been a -- it has required almost hour-by-hour communication, because the Democrats' position has changed by the hour. But their latest proposal -- and we'll see if it has enough staying power; we don't think it does, because I think it's in direct contradiction to what they American people want, they don't want 535 members of Congress micro-managing our generals on the ground who are trying to fight a war -- but, yes, we are in close coordination. Q -- yesterday, when the President met with the Democratic leadership? MR. BARTLETT: Not in this type of detail, no. I think it's safe to say even at that hour they didn't have a final solution. Q Last night -- or through the night - MR. SNOW: It must have been. It obviously became known publicly, but it was not a part of the discussion yesterday. MR. BARTLETT: It's one of the few benefits of the 24-hour news cycle, seven days a week, is you can keep up actually with the position of the Democrats. (Laughter.)
