If America is unaware of the facts, it's ultimately the administration's own fault for not making its case loudly or frequently enough. Is the media biased? No doubt in my mind. But screaming "the big, bad media made us lose again" every time Republicans get outmaneuvered (or perhaps out-demagauged is a better term) on the issues will get us nowhere. The administration has to know the score when it comes to the mainstream media, so they have no excuse for not seeing the obstacles before them and finding ways through or around them. To not do so means they are not fully committed to victory.

We are at opposite poles of the compass if you think this administration is being out maneuvered. No way the twain shall meet.

Bush can't force Daschle to do anything. It simply can't be done without overwhelming public opinion and despite what you think Bush can not do it by giving daily press conferences.

The WOT is a bigger issue right now than Judge Owens or the ANWR and conflating the two is a really bad idea.
