If President Bush is waiting, he's waited too long (imo). He has lost a lot of support for the war and people are just turned off by it now. He's let the Democrats have the talking points for too long.

The Bush Admin has always seemd too slow to react to situations. It allows the Dems to gain political points.

Clinton had his people on-air and in front of cameras even before the bad news hit the wires. Thus, he managed to spin it before it could become an issue [in most cases].

The Prison photos scandal could have been quelled on day 1, if GWB/Rumsfeld had issued a statement that investigations started in January, only a 1/2 dozen are involved, arrest have been made, etc. But the Admin's PR team have allowed this molehill to fester for 2 weeks now and become an infected puss blister. Democrats refer to it as their 'silver bullet.'

The same is true with the Iraq War. GWB is now losing it on the PR front. Kennedy and Co are making it another VietNam. Where are the GWB people out EVERY DAY telling the good that is being done?

If GWB can't get out in front of these kinds of 'problems,' [and you can bet the Dems have more 'situations' lined up to hit the Admin with in the coming weeks], we could very possibly see a President Kerry-Annan in January.

I agree with you completely, TomGuy.

I know the administration has to get through the liberal filter in the media, but surely when we have the House, Senate and Executive Branch, press conferences could be held that more clearly state our case.

That is my major disappointment with the administration - on the PR front they have not done as good a job as freepers could do! LOL
