Are you sure this isn't a Karl Rove "Rope-a-dope".

Actually, that's a very good question, but not for the reason you might think. Rove is a pretty sharp cookie, but I would be very surprised if he could manipulate the leftists into believing that the war in Iraq is lost. They truly believe that Bush has messed it up and we should get out becuase it is unwinnable (in their perverted view). I think there will be a HUGE leftist backlash against the MSM AND the Dem leadership (if you want to call it that) when we walk away with a victory in Iraq. Right now, the leftists all want to believe that Iraq has descended into civil war and that all is lost because Bush screwed it up!!

The day I'm waiting for is when victory is assured and the troops come home, leaving behind a peaceful, democratic Iraq. THAT will be a day for the record books!!!

I am too...ONLY God can make this happen. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY for our troops, president and a victorious Iraq! The enemy has powerful tools at their disposal, but we have God's MOST AWESOME tool...our knees!!

Rather, I think Rove foresaw that the dems and the press would go into the deep end of the pool and start treading water. All he would advise the President to do was not to overly defend himself or the war. The Dems and their surrogates in the press, being hopelessly enmeshed with the lunatic left-wing fringe, paddled right into into it saying "There is NO connection between Saddam and Al Quaeda", "Saddam had NO weapons of Mass Destruction before the war".

Lately it was Senator Fienstien's censure-ship fiasco in which He fled the senate floor and all the dems ran for cover when Senator Frist called them on it (censuring the President for defending us).

In doing these things they are hopelessly stuck in the deep end and can't back out.

Now that Saddam's documents and General Sada is speaking out they have to go into full spin control (what I call treading water) being exactly where Karl would like them to be - On the Subject of the war, rather than what the dems wish - domestic issues.

I'm praying that Karl and Senator Frist will put the dems feet to the fire before November's election and pin Hillary to the wall with an anti-flag burning bill right along side with a bill to keep the tax cuts permanent.

Hillary will have to cave into the hard left or appear like a panderer and the dem senators will have to vote with the president or be called tax raisers.
