This is not the first time I have heard this. I kept thinking, am I crazy? I thought I heard Bush say VERY clearly it would take a lot of sacrifice and a long time. So I tried an experiment. Last time I heard the Demos say this, I went into a liberal doctor's office and repeated this statement to the most liberal people there. (You know, the one's that go around with the old Clinton bumperstickers still on their car?) In both cases I was corrected, that they heard the war would be long and hard. So I guess Bush did make it clear, and the Demos are just pulling their if you repeat a lie long enough maybe it will sound like the truth routine.
They are testing every angle to see if they can find an opening. Guess they found no angle. Everytime they try, it backfires. I am sure that the hard left wing of Dems is pressing their leadership hard to take more confrontational stance against Pubbies. The leadership tried and it did not work. I am happy to see all those militant liberals get depressed now. I am sure they are commiserating with al-Qaeda.
