Its gotten so bad over there - we have such little support from the Iraqis themselves that we are stuck negotiating with terrorists, which is something Bush said he would never do. He's been forced to capitulate by the Iraqi Governing Council and the refusal of U.S.-trained Iraqi troops to participate.

By the way...I am not a dove. I fully support U.S. military action in Afghanistan where it was wholly warranted and necessary. No such justification exists for our invasion of Iraq. It was reckless judgement on the part of the Bush administration. 650 Americans have paid with their lives for that awful judgement and incompetence.

And, yes, I am mad at Mr. Bush for having plunged this nation into an entirely unnecessary war in Iraq. If you want to call that "Bush-hating," so be it.
