As George Bush continues to flounder in a hopeless sea of incompetence and confusion, his political strategists are surely looking for a situation that can reverse the president's fortunes in one bold, dramatic move. Here is an idea that can kill two birds with one stone, and bring GW back into favor with the voting public:

Announce the immediate withdrawal of 50,000 US troops from Iraq and reassignment of same to the US-Mexico border. This move will silence Bush war critics while addressing the critical border problems that make terrorism and illegal immigration from Mexico so dangerous.

Please, Mr. Bush, take an intelligent and prudent step to defend America from terrorism at our own borders!
