THIS is what Bush took away from the ISG...?

we are in some really deep shit...

The major alternatives include a short-term surge of 15,000 to 30,000 additional U.S. troops to secure Baghdad and accelerate the training of Iraqi forces. Another strategy would redirect the U.S. military away from the internal strife to focus mainly on hunting terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda. And the third would concentrate political attention on supporting the majority Shiites and abandon U.S. efforts to reach out to Sunni insurgents.

correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems to me that NONE of those comprised the main thrust of the ISG report... well, we knew he was going to do what he goddam well pleased anyway, so this should come as no surprise to anyone...
