WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Monday it was "a sober moment" as the U.S. death toll in Iraq climbed to 4,000. President Bush received a lengthy update on the war and aides said he was likely to embrace recommendations for a pause in troop withdrawals beyond those already scheduled.

Bush was to participate in a two-hour conference by secure video hookup with Gen. David Petraeus, the top commander in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq. Petraeus and Crocker are due to testify on Capitol Hill on April 8-9.

Patraeus is expected recommend no additional troop reductions in Iraq beyond those already scheduled, until at least September. This so-called pause in drawdowns, lasting a month or two, would be designed to assess the impact of this round, with the expectation that the drawdown would resume before Bush leaves office in January.

White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush sees "some merit" in that idea. "I think that's not unlikely," she said. She said Bush is under "no deadline" to make a decision about troop levels before leaving next week for a NATO summit in Romania.

Perino said that Bush spends time every day thinking about those who have lost their lives in battle.

"He bears the responsibility for the decisions that he made," White House press secretary Dana Perino said. "He also bears the responsibility to continue to focus on succeeding."

Even if the death toll was 400,000.

This is a fairly good perspective.

Yes,”Even if the death toll was 400,000.”

Just pisses me off when the left think that nothing good is going on over there and such, and that is TOTALLY WRONG!

Would that we’d fight islamism everywhere.

The MSM still lives and dies by the old slogan,”Good news doesn't sell”. The fact of it is that Americans are needing to hear about our heroes and their successes not an Obama who is only where he's at because he's being pushed upwards by the MSM playing the race card. Obama never served in the military but sure knows how to pick anti-American friends.
