They were probably just reflecting the sentiments of their constituencies. Whether Freepers like it or not, we turned the corner on public opinion and the war in Iraq.
More Americans than not are against the war and have no confidence in Dubya to wage an effective war. And their side has the momentum.
Sorry to be blunt but Dubya and the GOP fell on their @ss on this one.
More Americans than not are against a sudden withdrawl.
Americans by and large want to see progress. The MSM keeps them from seeing good news, and they are left with the illusion that the whole country is in shambles.
How much reporting have you seen over the last few days that mention all the calls by dems for more troops, when the president was listening to the generals that said they did not want anymore? Now that he has a new man that wants a surge into Baghdad they are all suddenly for staying the course, but no one is calling them on it.
