The White House believes it has made significant progress over the past month in swaying public and political opinion toward supporting a continued U.S. military effort in Iraq, one of President Bush's closest advisers said in an interview.
"The end of the August feels a lot better than the beginning of August when it comes to where we are relative to perceptions of our Iraq policy and what is working," said Ed Gillespie, counselor to the president.
Congress returns Tuesday from a monthlong recess that did not go according to plan for Democratic leaders and the antiwar movement, who were looking to September as a time to force Mr. Bush into changing course in Iraq.

“The Surge is Working and the Rats are Trapped”
The Rats are trapped only if the good guys have the b*lls to spring the trap, i.e. on the campaign trail, call each and every one of them a disembling, traitorous, fellow-traveling coward, intensely and often. Use their own documented statements to corner and then skewer them, relentlessly, unmercifully.
We can’t, of course, assume that the Rat’s auxilliaries (the agenda MSM) will helpfully point out how wrong-headed and counter productive to the war effort (and, by the way, most helpful to the enemy) the Rat anti-war strategy has been.
These people must be held accountable (unlike after Viet Nam) and we are the only ones who can do it.
Boy are we ever screwed.
Amen to that, sir. I’m hoping that Thompson will do just that. I have to say, though, I thought he looks a little frail these days. Anybody else feel the same way?
LOL! WELCOME ABOARD!
Support for the war always goes up when Bush goes out and stumps for it.
But then the idiot retreats into his cocoon. and all the gains get lost.
Fred has been working closely with a traing coach.
His philosophy is “a lead dog runs hardest.”
That shoul be “lean” dog nod lead.
