Dear troops: Make yourselves comfy.

Oooooh ... I'm betting those MREs aren't going down well today:

President Bush said Tuesday that the war in Iraq was eroding his political capital, his starkest admission yet about the costs of the conflict to his presidency, and suggested that American forces would remain in the country until at least 2009.

Have fun, kids. Try not to step on any suspicious mounds on the road.
