This idiocy has lost the war.

With things going as bad as they are, everyone in that vast majority who once supported the war is bailing out. The only ones left are the same loyal Americans who want to follow the laws and maintain our sovereignty.

It is this, Bush’s last constituency, which he is kicking in the teeth and slandering at every opportunity. You could not imagine a worse strategy for fighting a war that will only succeed with citizen support.

Karl Rove will get his brown-skinned followers. But their names will be Ahmed and Ali, not Juan and Jose.

I think you are right. There is a strong linkage between his battle for amnesty and open borders and the remaining support for the war in Iraq. In September, the Democrats will attempt again to force a withdrawal. Throughout the Summer, there will be other bills trying to limit the flexibility of the US to take action and to direct the war from Congress.

As the fight over "comprehensive immigration reform" continues or if passes, The President's support for anything else will drop to the point, that he can no longer control foreign policy and the war.
