If Clinton were President instead of Bush and everything else was the same, the press would say the war is going marvelously.

With Bush in office, the press will say whatever he does is wrong or ineffective. A fast pace would be criticized as too brutal. A slow pace is criticized as too boring. No matter what the pace is, it is wrong if Bush is in office. No matter what the pace is, if Clinton were in office, it would be hailed as correct.
