I think the President's trip to Iraq was a trump card. He played it over and over at yesterday's press conference. Everytime someone asked about the future of Iraq he was able to frame his answer in terms of the face-to-face meeting he had just had with the Iraqi government.

No talking head can trump that. A news anchor or pissant like Chris Matthews won't get a meeting with the Iraqi Prime Minister. They may get an interview but not the "head of state" summit that the President had.

I didn't realize it until I saw the press conference last night. He had the upper hand on every question. It was hard to believe so much could be covered in a five hour visit.

I think your assessment is right on target, Dilbert.

He was absolutely in control because he had proven the idiot left that they were wrong about everything.

I think they even tamed down because of it........their questions were lame and moronic of course, but they didn't quite have that haughtiness and bite they usually have......and when it broke through, he leveled it with the facts.

Monumental event, IMO. Historic and huge because of what it proved, and how it exposed the media/leftist lies.
