Thank you very much....
Re: the smoking topic.
I totally agree with Morgan in Denver's take at post #564...he ALWAYS says things so well, doesn't he??
The fact that the only place you can read about it is on the WH web site proves my point.
The DNC has no problem getting its message out through its propaganda wing in the press.
The WH apparently thinks posting a top ten list on their website is enough to counter the enemy propaganda that Iraq is not part of the WOT.
It is most certainly not enough.
Poll shows dissatisfaction with Iraq war
Approval rating for war on terrorism also slips

(CNN) -- Nearly six in 10 Americans oppose the war in Iraq and a growing number of them are dissatisfied with the war on terrorism, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday.
If the WH PR people were doing their job, any leftist, say Rat minority leader Botox Pelosi who said "We would be much safer today if President Bush had kept his focus on Al Qaeda, rather than diverting crucial resources from the war on terror in Afghanistan to a war of choice in Iraq", would be challenged to answer the question of whether they considered Saddam a terrorist, yes or no.
The White House Press Secretary could challenge the press to ask Pelosi the question at a news briefing, or ask Pelosi the question directly and have it relayed via media.
Nothing of the sort happens however, because the Administration has demonstrated itself to be clueless on the necessity of winning the propaganda war at home.
Its a hell of a thing to ask our military to die and then leave them undefended against propaganda attacks by domestic enemies.
