Wish I had a ten-spot for every article I've read over the past three years which claimed Bush was in trouble.

These idiots are just upset because they lost all of their savings investing in the companies that made body bags just prior to the clean-up we did in Iraq.

Yes, it is left-wing bs. Par for the course for The Guardian retards. On a fairly recent visit to the UK my wife and I picked up one of their propaganda sheets in the post office. It was something that Marx and Engels would have been proud of. We were sorry that we didn't save this "literature" to share with others. We wrote to them requesting another copy but they ignored us.

In other words, don't pay any attention to the drivel emanating from The Guardian.

Those of us who pay the slightest bit of attention know that the rate of attacks on soldiers is actually going down, but is that reported? Rummy also made a very good point today that if the Iraqis don’t like how things are managed by the US over there they could help and do some policing of their own. What is wrong with those people anyway?

Nonsense, it is not a billion dollars a day. The figure I heard, was only 4 billion a month. So shut up and pay your taxes.

Is asking for a plan too much?

Ain't that the question. The problem is that there have been lots of plans and they all were based on what these dodgy Iraqi opposition groups were telling us. All about WMDs, and the govt in exile just waiting to take over, etc.

I'm sure the Guardian wishes daily that the war is threatening Bush's career, but the numbers in the US don't show that. The Guardian's readers, like those at the NY Times, would love for this to be true

"What is wrong with those people anyway?"

I'm prepared to cut them some slack. When you've lived in fear for over thirty years, it destroys individual initiative.

On the other hand, there is apparently no lack of volunteers for the national militia and police forces. But it is naturally a tedious, time-consuming process to train them. Especially with the above as background...

I'm confident the plan will work in Iraq and that the Iraqis will prove themselves worthy of freedom. The only thing I fear is the despicable mainstream media and the self-serving Democrats eroding our own national will.

at a billion dollars a day

You are off by about a factor of 7.

The plan should be to ramp up Iraqi oil production, if it means putting more troops to guard the pipelines just do it. Iraq should be paying for their protection and rebuilding, not us.

Moreover, They are upset because they can no longer ride the backs of the iraqi people to profit the Total Fina ELF Oil Company with the 'Oil for Food' program. The french were skimming BILLIONS off of this with cheap oil and kickbacks. And kofi annon was in NO BIG HURRY to end the sanctions made more convienient in that they could blame it on the evil'mericans. Kofis books are CLOSED and NOBODY WANTS TO SAY SO!

Americans may now be becoming more frightened of being bogged down in a hostile country than of the terrorist threat against which Bush has pledged to defend them.

The Guardian is filled to the brim with liberal euro-twits.

President Bush pledged to protect America from further attack. Sending our military to the heart of the Arab world to fight our enemies was the prudent thing to do.

I can say one thing... The Guardian UK is just slightly less egregiously leftist and whiny than say, the Village Voice.

Never reveal an exit strategy whether you have one or not.

"President will make a dramatic U-turn on Iraq"

Do these people really know how stupid they really are! They are hoping he will make a u-turn - just so they can say "see .. see .. we told you he didn't have an exit plan".

Left-wing wet dreams impersonating an actual news article with cogent analysis.

President Bush will defend the war and the slow but inevitable democratization of Iraq and will probably list all the postive things that have been happening since the major fighting ended in Iraq that the leftist media carefully avoids reporting or spins into a negative. My guess (which is as good as anyone's) is that Bush will again make it clear that he intends to fight terrorism at it's base - the middle east - and that he will not allow Democrat presidential aspiriants, an unfriendly media or polls to deter him from his goal of breaking the back of terrorism. My guess is that he will vow to do this even if it means he is not re-elected in 2004 although he won't put it that bluntly and he will most likely ask for the nations continuing support in the ongoing war on terror.

The leftist media will say he's desperate and doomed to defeat in the next election. Next week, Bush's approval rating will rise. He will be re-elected by a healthy margin in 2004. The media will weep for America, the rest of us will cheer. By next week, no one will remember this article.

From the article: "The French [...] are playing it tough, aware that they have Bush over a barrel ..."

Sure. If they oppose Bush again, their economy may sink to the point that they have to sell the Eiffel tower.

Bring 'em on!
