9 months of negotiation... the iraq war as a backdrop... Bush's posturing re 'you're all next'... i think Bush is in the process of making a case that his 'pre-emptive' stance can have positive effects with regards to using his aggressive fp to squeeze some of the iffy states around the world. It may work poorly in places like NK, but it seems to have worked well in Libya.

I take this as a DU quote. Sounds like the writer just had an epiphany. Maybe there is hope yet.

Actually I thought this guy's artwork (above) on the eagle was good, even though it is from DU. The sentiment over there is the Clarke's numbers go up, Dean gets further pummeled due to these global events.

Spoke to a liberal friend of mine today, who is relatively politically ignorant overall..but she has really gotten to like President Bush and said she has to admit when he talks he says what he means, and said they might have to change the laws so he could stay in office indefinitely. QUITE A TURNAROUND from this person from a couple of years ago. She is representative of many!
