I think it is a fair and intelligent letter. her comments are right on the money. Problem is, I do not believe she has sent it to a " fair and intelligent " man. Bush will do as he pleases despite overwhelming disagreement... he thinks he knows best. As for all our dead.. he has no value for life at all.

I'm not sure where you glean 'surrender' from this letter. They're simply stating what the US Public voted for in the 2006 midterms: rational thought and debate about the horrible situation in Iraq. A situation that Bush and his pals have not shown the slightest bit of ability or competence to resolve.

Surrender is NO WHERE in the letter and your title is wholly misleading to those who may not read the article or keep up on everyday news. Choose to educate, not mislead.
1st - the invasion of Iraq [per Bush] was because Iraq alledgedly held nuclear arms of mass destruction. [later proven false]
2n- the secondary reason for the invasion was the unseating of Sadaam and his regime [accompished]
3rd - Later it was to help Iraq set up a form of a democratic-type government - [accomplished]
It is not therefore surrender . we are not at war with Iraq....!! Bloodshed is occuring due to insurgents ... a so-called war that can only be eradicated by Iraq itself taking hold of its internal issues of sectarian violence.

Requiring Bush to justify an increase in troops and cost is not a letter requesting surrender.
Do you have any more propaganda that you would care to spew.

they all make decent points however what people need to understand is that Radical Islam is not going to give up. They will continue their fight to their own iniliation. I would rather it happen there than over here. We would really be sending the wrong message to the world if we pull out. We must WIN at all costs. 3000 troops is not a great loss to a great military such as the US in war time.

Pelosi is about dim-witted as they come....Maybe we should send her to Iraq...let her stand in the middle of the country and just tell all Iraqis if they stop shooting at and blowing us up...we'll go home!

I agree. I never supported the war in the first place, and we have had too many American casualties and spent too much money. God Forbid something happens to us here on the home front, would we have anyone left to protect us?

It's not unexpected. I really can't wait until Wednesday to see what he has to say.
