Bush is looking for a new way forward in Iraq. Will more troops just mean more targets for radical islamics? Would less troops decrease the amount of violence and stabilize the country?

I believe there is no new way forward for the United States in Iraq. What haven't they already tried? They are primarily failing because the Iraqi people do not support the US occupation, and trust and work with their own people. So the US-backed government has no legitimacy and cannot govern Iraq. There is no military solution to this, and there may be no political solution either.
What the US should do is announce a withdrawal and work with Iran and Syria and Turkey to ensure stability in Iraq once they leave. Whether there is war or peace in the future has more to do with what those countries do, than what the US does.

Nope, just to stay the course. The National-Union believes that if the troops are standing around, they're sitting ducks for terrorists. Less troops and more effective ways of using technology, stablizing a hundred percent isn't realistic. The only option is watching Iraq and exiting Iraq will secure the country, http://www.voteprimous.com

The only new way forward in Iraq that will work is realizing that Iraq won't be won by the military - this war is about Iraqi politics. Until that is acknowledged and dealt with our troops will be there without an end in sight.

The "New Way Forward" is actually getting pretty old. To make this "surge" or trickle of U.S. forces into Iraq, President Bush - in his vast wisdom -will extend the tours of two marine regiments already in Iraq and move Kuwait based reserves into Iraq - for extended tours! Voila! A New Way Forward in Iraq.

A new way of violence because of the stupidity of the US policies.
