FORT BRAGG, N.C. - President Bush on Tuesday appealed for the nation's patience for "difficult and dangerous" work ahead in Iraq, hoping a backdrop of U.S. troops and a reminder of Iraq's revived sovereignty would help him reclaim control of an issue that has eroded his popularity.

In an evening address (sic) at an Army base that has 9,300 troops in Iraq, Bush was acknowledging the toll of the 27-month-old war. At the same time, he aimed to persuade skeptical Americans that his strategy for victory needed only time — not any changes — to be successful.

No, it wouldn't, not everyone shares your unhealthy obsession.

What kind of crapweasel headline is that? The effort is worth it. He didn't say bloodshed.

I wouldn't say that a person who wants his government to control its borders and stop millions of illegal aliens from entering has an unhealthy obsession.I might use the term for someone who is unable to criticize the wrongdoing of a president because he belongs to a certain political party.The current border policy is damaging the country while putting us in more danger and I'm going to complain about it no matter what party the president belongs to.
