If Bush erred at all in this war, it's in the P.R. department. They've allowed so many outright lies to stand, and others have been only weakly countered. They did well during the "shock and awe" phase--they need to keep up the pace. Even Fox, these days, concentrates on all the bad news. The victories over there are scarcely covered.
Bingo! I have to wonder if we'd still be seeing that, if Karen Hughes had stayed on board at the White House. I don't blame her for leaving, to go raise her kids in Texas, but she left a hole that has simply not been filled.
They toppled the saddam regime all right, the aftermath was a mess, too much winning the hearts and minds nonsense going on. Why can't the Iraquis in the military stand up to the ragtag Iraquis in the insurgency? Does the other side have the superiour human beings? If not, its a lack of leadership...
Very well said.
Thank you.
You are so on target with your statements. The terrorists in Iraq have been confined to the Sunni triangle and are afraid to operate in the south or the north. It is difficult to recall the last carbombing in Basra or up north in the Kurdish area
The President and the administration need to come out swinging on this and show how the leftists and defeatists are carrying water for the terrorists. All while real progress is being overlooked
I think that Karl Roves recent statements were a good start in the right direction
My local news here in Los Angeles (ABC 7) has taken to calling the latest terrorist attacks in Iraq, "Breaking News"
This is even when their are no Americans injured or killed! The defeatists and leftists here in this country are determined force fit Iraq into their vision of Vietnam
I for one do not plan to let them. I will write letters, put up "Support the Troops and the Mission" stickers and whatever it takes to make sure we win this fight
To forfeit this war because good people were too scared to speak up is not an option
