    Does anyone think Bush...

    ...will actually consider ANYTHING other than he's already "decided"? Nothing these "experts" recommend would likely penetrate Bush's mind.

    We continue our plunge down to disaster.

    And, hasn't it always been a joke when the Republicans would whine about the "Democrats coming up with an Iraq plan"?

    As if Bush would have ever considered it?
