The suggestion "What are your intenstions"


"What are your intentions?" is a question, not a suggestion.



meant that the pilot should
propose a solution when ATC would not state the problem in a realistic
enough fashion to understand it.


I think most pilots would understand it just fine, it's not that complex.
Why wouldn't it be proper for the pilot to propose a solution? He's the one
directly affected by any solution.



"Potomac refuses" is not a reasonable
statement of the problem. I have no clue how to solve that without more
info.


Then ask for more info. Don't waste time saying "unable reroute" when it's
already been decided that you're going to be rerouted.
