Well, I can see these three options are drawing a real firestorm of attention and excitement. Or is that just the crickets chirping?
Yes, it does seem whenever potential actions are discussed, the yawns begin. On the other hand there are screaming headlines every time some suicidal Muslim blows himself up along with some other Muslims (usually) or our soldiers (more rarely).
The MSM loves blood and guts as a means to defeating President Bush and America.
The bad news is the President will have a hard time convincing anyone the new policies are better than the old policies. The good news is no one seems willing to "cut and run" as an alternative. A Hegelian dialectic would demand the outcome will be we "talk and walk."
