"..Could it possibly be that rumors are flying, people are postulating and none of them know any more than you or I do what's true?"
Sure. Isn't that how the anti-Bush media works these days?
Does anyone care about facts...or do they just like a good yarn and an implication that they have "sources"?
The rest just use accusation and innuendo. "Going terribly wrong, quagmire, mismanagement, incompetence, no judgement, arrogant , unilateral, ill concieved, miscalculated" ...I know all the buzzwords.
