"Interestingly enough, one administration official admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one because the American people have run out of patience and President Bush is running out of time to achieve some kind of success in Iraq. While this plan will clearly draw some stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, the president is expected to announce it a week from today," - NBC's Jim Miklaszewski, on the reasoning behind the new Iraq "strategy."Remember this the next time you hear President Bush talk about how much he cares about the lives (and lost lives) of American troops.
