Very well said. I think if Pres. Bush speaks directly, and from his heart, about why we went into Iraq, even those who might disagree will give him the benefit of the doubt.

For too long, the Democrats have been able to set the terms of the debate.

He has done as you suggest but there are people who are insistent (for various reasons) not to give him the benefit of the doubt and never will. They are the ones who drag the undecideds over into the D column. I agree the D's set the terms...why aren't we savvy enough to break that streak and make it our own?
