Maliki did everything he could to convince Bush to withdrawal troops from Baghdad, to no avail. Even a Powerpoint presentation failed to convince.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had a surprise for President Bush when they sat down with their aides in the Four Seasons Hotel in Amman, Jordan. Firing up a PowerPoint presentation, Maliki and his national security adviser proposed that U.S. troops withdraw to the outskirts of Baghdad and let Iraqis take over security in the strife-torn capital. Maliki said he did not want any more U.S. troops at all, just more authority.

The president listened intently to the unexpected proposal at their Nov. 30 meeting, according to accounts from several administration officials. Bush seemed impressed that Maliki had taken the initiative, but it did not take him long to reject the idea.

Our generals don't want us to increase troops, the Iraqi's don't want more troops, and the Americna people do not want more troops. And none of that makes any difference to the man elected to do the people's will, George Bush.

What other choice do we have?

If impeachment is not an option, then what is?
