Hoping against hope.
These thugs are so pathetic. So freakin' pathetic.
After the deadliest month yet for U.S. troops in Iraq, top Bush administration officials fear the situation will deteriorate in coming weeks as insurgents try to create turmoil amid the June 30 handover of power to Iraqis.Speaking on condition of anonymity, White House officials said Monday they see reason to be hopeful that the situation will eventually improve. But they can't say when the turning point will come.
From President Bush down, the administration now acknowledges that the U.S.-led occupation bred more frustration among Iraqis than the White House had initially expected.
And this is just infuriating.
The senior official would not rule out the possibility of a request by the administration for more money to finance military operations in Iraq.Another senior administration official said it is likely that lawmakers will approve money on a contingency basis that could go to the Pentagon for Iraq should it run out of money while Congress is adjourned at the end of this year.
Bush has not been told by military commanders there is a shortfall, both officials said.
So, we've lost over 700 American kids, thousands of Iraqis, spent over $100 billion dollars, and we're going to throw good money after bad at this point and no one's told Bush. And they're hoping that the situation will improve.
Well, that's just great. Friggin' morons.

Remember Bush didn't listen to the CIA, FBI, or the UN why would he listen to his own staff at this point?

"Then dammit son, dig harder!"
"Shouldn't we try to get out of the hole instead?"
"GODDAMNIT SOLDIER, DO YOU HATE YOUR COUNTRY? NOW DIG HARDER!"
