The prison situation needs to be investigated, but not exploited. It is being investigated. Seems like the President needs to remember the "domestic front" in the war on terror as well. I wonder what the next Democrat attack salvo will be?

This is still topic #1 in the news. I still haven't heard any mention of what steps will be taken to punish the "leakers".

"The strongest people in the Bush administration, including Mr. Rumsfeld, know what is at stake here. It is not just whether Mr. Bush will be re-elected, but whether the war on terror itself will fizzle out like the Vietnam war did 30 years ago. Indeed, some of the same characters are involved. John Kerry, who gave Hanoi aid and comfort after his return from the war, is now running for president. Seymour M. Hersh, the reporter who has just revived his career with his Abu Ghraib story in The New Yorker, 35 years ago broke the story of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. His work then helped turn Americans against that war. "

The left wing anti war/anti America traitors from Hersh to al Querry are trying to creat another Viet Nam. One wonders are they paid for this treason, or is it a genetic defect that lunatic libs have.

Finally a voice of sanity emerges versus the whining and lying of the lunatic libs, who want us defeated in America.

This is the same group that turnded victory in Nam into what was perceived to be defeat.

It would send a dreadful message to other leaders if on the one hand President Bush says he will stay the course, and then on the other, "reluctantly accepts" Rumsfeld's resignation.

"I wonder what the next Democrat attack salvo will be?"

When their next salvo comes, he should do his best President Reagan imitation and say, "Well, there they go again."

(Although I would prefer something like, "Aw geeeeeeez, not this .... again."

The terrorist will not let it fizzle out like the Viet Kong did.

"I still haven't heard any mention of what steps will be taken to punish the "leakers"."

The Fraudcast Media is displaying a complete and utter lack of curiosity about who took the pictures and why, what purpose the pictures were to have served, who paid for the pictures, who leaked the pictures, and who directed the posing of soldiers and prisoners in those pictures. The media isn't curious about ANY of that, yet when a Dem memo is leaked that shows Dem complicity in wrongdoing, all the media cares about is who leaked the memo, not the wrongdoing itself.

There was even a picture shown on TV yesterday of a soldier with his partner, a German Shepherd - referred to by NBC as "an attack dog." The dog was there without question to sniff for explosives and contraband, NOT to "attack."

You would never know that sobriety had returned if the morning news was any example.

You nailed it with your comments belown. Fraudcast is a great phrase/word to describe ABCNNBC BS.

It is not just whether Mr. Bush will be re-elected, but whether the war on terror itself will fizzle out like the Vietnam war did 30 years ago.

The marines around Fallujah & Najef should be 'turned loose' to mount a full-scale assault and bag al-Sadr. This would take the prisoner hazing incidents off the front page at least for a couple of days.

Right! I think this will backfire on the dems. But I want to be sure Bush & co don't let the other side keep setting the agenda either.

Bush put the brakes on the partisan sniping yesterday. To use his terms, dealing with Kennedy, Biden, Kerrey, and the rest of the America haters is like swatting flies.

domestic enemies

Finally somebody calls it by its right name, although I'd prefer "Fifth Column" or "The Enemy Within". But this is a good start.

TEW will of course scream that their patriotism is being questioned, but so effing what. People who are running for office need to be careful what they say and how they say it.

But George Melloan isn't running for office and neither are the growing multitutudes of American citizens who are beginning to see the true nature of our domestic enemies.

They ain't the loyal opposition and more Americans are seeing that every day.
