So Bush has now had four years in Iraq, and four months of the surge, and you're complaining that we're not patient. Kasserine Pass indeed.

They haven't even completed the surge and he is already calling it a failure. Couldn't he had at least let them get it set up first before he calls it a failure?
As to Kasserine pass, it was Eisenhower's responsiblity (he was the theater commander) and he was not canned. Bush has put in a new theater commander and the guy hasn't event got all his troops off the boats.
