So the time the US Political class will now actually fight an enemy is 42 months and that only if the casualties are under 3500. God help this country if they ever have to fight a real straight up Conventional War.

As Phsstpok pointed out last week.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier,

Tony Snow's office, has this new poster on the wall "We 're at War: Are YOU Doing All You Can?"

May be this is what driving WH press corps nuts.
