Patience, my ass
dear mr. president...
go.directly.to.hell...
it may be TEMPTING to pack up and go home...? the reason it's TEMPTING is because it IS the best option...
it simply stretches all bounds of reason that they are still committed to this illegal and completely devastating war, four years in... oh, and btw, who is this "ENEMY" anyway...?

"It can be tempting to look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude that our best option is to pack up and go home," Bush was to say, according to an administration official who saw an advance text of his remarks. "While that may be satisfying in the short run, the consequences for American security would be devastating."
White House press secretary Tony Snow went a step further, telling reporters in his morning briefing that a war spending bill up for consideration by the full House this week would "provide victory for the enemy." The legislation, in addition to providing funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for the year, would effectively require the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by the fall of 2008.
"That is not a fund-the-troops bill but a withdraw-the-troops bill," Snow said. "We think that is an approach that is conducive to defeat. It is a recipe for failure, not for victory. ... It would provide victory for the enemy and not the much-needed and deserved victory for the people of Iraq. Furthermore, it would forfeit the sacrifice that our troops have made in the field."
