It's the Same Old Song

On the first day of the fifth year of the war in Iraq, President Bush asked for the nation's patience.

Much like he did on:

And that's just the first page of Google results for "bush patience iraq", which brings us to This Week's Discussion Question:

How much more patience do you think we have?

Please keep the discussion civil and do not wander off into "Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! This time for sure! Nothin' up m'sleeve...Presto!" or "How long, how long must we sing this song?"

Discuss.

Again.

Dammit.
