I don't disagree with you that we have a responsibility to get these stories out. But the problem here is that the mission in Iraq is a Bush policy. I support it. You support it. Melanie supports it. Shouldn't they advocate for their own policies? Shouldn't their representatives go on talk radio, Fox News, do interviews with conservative news websites on this?

Joel Mowbray wrote about this in National Review and was on Fox and he was very frustrated and flabbergasted that the WH wasn't out there telling this story.

It's the same feeling Marc Morano of CNS News had when he broke the first story of Iraqi Intelligence documents showing the premise for the war was true.

I remember Melanie Morgan told me that as disappointed as she was, she thought the Bush WH was just waiting for the election to then say "yes, there are these documents and it's true." But instead, they did the opposite and Bush, Rumsfeld and Cheney all came out and said there were NO WMDs. We at MAF were all dumbstruck! They were right. There was evidence to back it up, and instead they hung all their supporters out to dry by saying 'No, the anti-war left was right, there was no WMD threat.'

Uggh. It makes it hard to get the MSM to even acknowledge the point when the Bush Administration says you're wrong and Saddam didn't have any meaningful WMD stockpiles.

I understand, I am flummoxed by it too. I think it has something to do with how the anti-Bush crowd and the media has treated previous attempts at making the case for Iraq, where their statements have simply been ignored. There have been several cases where Bush gave major speeches on Iraq and the media gave it almost zero coverage.
