Everyone who is of sound mind and intelligence knew and knows, eventually you have to negotiate to end a war.
Perhaps, this is a sign Bush is wanting to end the war, before the war gets worse and support truly turns.

This isn't a war like others, there are no formal combatants. There is no representatives to make binding agreements, the opposition is composed of bands of murderers and thugs who measure achivement in the form of body counts and press clippings. We see much the same thing in Israel, where no sooner than an agreement is reached that some new group (or old group) decides the time is ripe for a bombing.
