in the crosshairs

Washington Post's Chandrasekaran reports "attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq have increased sharply over the past two weeks, reaching a high of 35 a day, the commanding American general" said 10/22. Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said throughout the summer "there were between 10 and 15 attacks on U.S. soldiers most days. Since early October, however, the number of daily attacks has fluctuated between 20 and 35" (10/23).

Out of those daily attacks, our brave soliders can only defeat so many. Give them more help Mr. President! Send in real allies with real numbers and decrease our relative number and exposure. Can't we find any friends to help foot the bill/watch the store? Oh that's right, you snubbed your nose at them repeatedly, now I remember. Thanks.
