President George W. Bush The White House Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

Our troops and the American people have already sacrificed a great deal for the future of Iraq. After nearly four years of combat, tens of thousands of U.S. casualties, and over $300 billion dollars, it is time to bring the war to a close. We, therefore, strongly encourage you to reject any plans that call for our getting our troops any deeper into Iraq. We want to do everything we can to help Iraq succeed in the future but, like many of our senior military leaders, we do not believe that adding more U.S. combat troops contributes to success.

We appreciate you taking these views into consideration.

Sincerely,

Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House

Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader

Tens of thousands? Where does this dingbat get her data? 4489, as of today, not even 2007.
