The media hates the military a lot more when there is a Republican President.
I’m not making any argument at all about why the Iraq War was unpopular.
I’m not saying that the Iraq War was bad and should’ve been unpopular.
I’m just saying that it was unpopular.
I will say that it was foreseeable that the media would try to turn people against the war. The media does not like Republicans and wants to hurt them. That was the case back in 2000, and Bush should’ve known that.
It’s a lot harder for the media to lie about something that people personally experience day to day. The Iraq War was taking place on the other side of the globe. Most people have very little understanding about what was actually taking place there. When people have no way to really experience the truth of the matter, it’s easier for the media to lie about it. Bush should’ve known this as well.
How about doing the right thing because it was his responsibility to defend America against its enemies?
That's one of the reasons I admire Bush the most, and one of the reasons why I have no respect for Ron Paul. He wouldn't protect us against an infestation of fleas if it cost money and required the military to get it done.
