Richter, Levey: Bush explores truce with Congress?

"With public support of the war dropping, President Bush has authorized an internal policy review to find a plan that could satisfy opponents without sacrificing his top goals, the officials said.

The president and senior officials "realize they can't keep fighting this over and over," said one administration official, who along with others declined to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly or because decisions were pending."

Bush is, without question, the most "rigid" man on the planet. As a practice, compromise with Bush has meant "you move to my way of thinking."

Bush and Congress have collectively ignored their employers, who clearly want an end to this war.
