WASHINGTON - The deadly recent attacks on American troops in Iraq are increasing the pressure on President Bush to develop an exit strategy. The U.S. death toll from the war is now over 1,800, and a new AP-Ipsos poll shows the lowest approval yet for Bush’s handling of Iraq, just 38 percent.

The president’s fellow Republicans are growing nervous as they head into an election year.

Yet the administration must also confront the possibility that a U.S. drawdown of troops — tentatively planned to begin next spring — could further embolden the insurgents and throw Iraq into civil war.

Hey MSNBC, THIS IS ALREADY A CIVIL WAR!

Any claim to the contrary is nothing but propaganda.

Hey George, get a clue buddy. We are coming for you and we will never stop until you are in jail! Fuck you and your illegal, immoral war!

Just wait until those Abu Ghraib photos break. You already know that will be the end of this war and most likely the end if your reign of terror. You can't stall them forever you pig fucker!

7. This Is A Hell Of A Quote From The Article...

"Despite the horrific headlines, many military analysts say that attacks on U.S. troops have actually remained constant in recent weeks while attacks on Iraqi civilians have increased.

“As tragic as they are, they don’t establish a pattern that says U.S. casualties are getting consistently worse,” said Anthony H. Cordesman, an Iraq expert and former Pentagon intelligence official. He attributed recent deaths of Marines to the fact that “these are more aggressive military patrols going into hostile areas.”
=====================================================================

I guess it is OK with these pricks that Iraqi deaths are increasing as long as the rate of American deaths remains constant?

WFT? These people are grasping at straws...
