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.

True Spanky.
You don't really want to be making this comparison. Bush suffers.

P.S. I've been meaning to ask you -- Remember that you argued before in the context of the surge that -- IF more troops would have helped in 2003 (like all the "liberals" in the "Democrat Party" were saying) there is no reason they would not help fix things in 2007?
Ok. So, IF the surge fails now in 2007 -- doesn't that mean your men Bush and Rummy were right about troop levels all along, and more troops wouldn't have mattered in 2003/04?
Take heart!
