There's a simple reason the Washington establishment, Democrats, and the press hate President Bush's new strategy in Iraq: He spurned their advice. He ordered a troop increase, not the first phase of a withdrawal. He didn't echo Democrats like Senator Joe Biden and suggest the war in Iraq is lost. The thrust of his nationally televised speech last week was that we can still win. He mostly rejected the findings of the Iraq Study Group. And he refused--in fact, he's emphatically opposed--to engage Iran and Syria in talks. Nor did he go along with calls to abandon democracy as the fundamental goal of his foreign policy in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

There's a lot of Abe Lincoln in Bush.
"There's a lot of Abe Lincoln in Bush."
There's a lot of Copperhead in the Democrats.
Let there be no mistake. If this war is lost it is the media and Democrats who are to blame.
Yes, there really is!
Ditto that sentiment.
Abe Lincoln also knew that if the enslaved African population of the South didn't rise to take part in democracy, any Civil War would be in vain. Muslims and theocracy are as inseparable as Baptists and Water, as Catholics and the Eucharist, and as Pentecostals and speaking in tongues. Remove the ideology of jihadist salvation, and democracy might have a chance in the Mid East. Otherwise, Baby, we're going to loose even MORE lives. George Bush was elected to be President of the UNITED STATES, not the Middle East.
President Bush stands his ground no matter what the critics say. There are some Republicans who have much to learn from George W. Bush.
I stand with our President....he is not alone
"Bush stands alone"
If he keeps leading like he did this week - not for long.
If we leave now, we are going to have to back there and lose more lives... Better to have those people blow themselves up over there than here....
I don't care what some "conservatives" say. I love this man. I thank God he is our president.
I agree ,he is a real leader like Washington and Lincoln, they were alone too.
re : theocracy/Moslems, we could settle for another Turkey.
Mega dittos!
Well, they didn't at the time. Some actually fought for the South. In fact, they were pretty much suppressed until the 1960s.

Empasis bump.
President Bush, State of the Union address excerpt: America will help the oppressed people "secure their country, rebuild their society and educate all their children-boys and girls."....otherwise, the terrorist will come back and recruit.
Might be a good time for everyone to tell him he is not alone.

There is nothing that scares the Democrasts more than George Bush's success in Iraq.
