ALL TALK AND NO HAT

With 3000 dead US troops now confirmed, what plan is considered "reasonable" enough to endanger the lives of between 15-30,000 troops?

What sacrifice is Bush willing to make in order to try and pacify the out-of-control violence in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq?

What we've seen from the Bush camp is: "We need more time. We need more time. We need more time."

George, we've given you 4 years to find a plan for Iraq. You had none. In fact, you communicated quite clearly to us that you didn't need a plan, but "stay the course".

Well, "stay the course" isn't a plan.

Neither is another influx of war-weary troops.

Isn't it time you shuffled off your "cowboy" tactics and start engaging meaningful dialogue, while looking to other ideas as a way out of this failed war of yours?

America is patient, Mr. President. But we won't stand by and watch you sacrifice more troops for nothing at all.

We do have our limits. And you're pushing them.
