The U.S. military death toll in Iraq has reached 3,000, an unwelcome milestone for President Bush who is searching for a way to turn around the unpopular war even if it means sending more troops.
The mark was reached as Bush weighs options, including a short-term increase in forces of up to 30,000, to help control the deteriorating situation in Iraq where daily violence plagues Baghdad and much of the country.
For those who may be confused by the double speak coming from the White House, a short-term increase in forces is just another way to say "stay the course".
I keep hoping that the new year will bring an end to this war. It is getting harder and harder to be an optimist.
