How amazing to see the quick TURNAROUND the liberal press has in trying to find some negative aspect of the President's visit.

This jackass "journalist" Milhouse, or whatever his name is, even includes quotes from Chris Lehane, that mindless drone from Al Gore's election-stealing campaign.

I love the smell of liberals smoking in the morning, don't you?

I, for one, am so proud that he risked his peaceful holiday by being with the men and women who have made it possible for us to continue on with our day to day lives. And I pray for him and the way he lifted the spirits of those who are sacrificing for all of us. God speed to all of the boys, men and women out in that hellhole we call Iraq.

It's a she .. and she is perpetually dissecting and offering adversarial views on GWB's words and deeds .. was just on Tim Russert last week doing that very thing. PLUS .. she's with the WashPost ... what do we expect?

It's terrible that the media is trying to find something wrong with the Commander-in-Chief visiting his soldiers on Thanksgiving. Oh no, he flew over Baghdad in blackout! Only because it makes sense. I have a feeling that the message sent to the Iraqis wasn't that their country isn't secure, but that the American president cares enough for his soldiers to visit on an American national holiday at the risk of his own life.
I don't see this as a ploy, or an exercise in bravado. If ex-pres. Clinton would have done the same thing, I would have applauded him (no matter how much it hurt). President Bush did a great thing. Hats off to him.

Oh,Good Grief!What a lame article..maybe this or perhaps that.

Rather, they said the visit may come to reinforce their view that the administration has led the United States into a lonely occupation of Iraq without an obvious exit strategy.

What could possibly be "lonelier" than our status in the UN, an organization in knee-jerk opposition to anything we would propose. I feel much less lonely now that we have gone outside to find some different friends to hang out with.

Our exit strategy is clear to all except the Left, and by necessity, the terrorists.

Here is another very questionable passage:

"While the troops cheered the moment, it is too soon to know whether the image of Bush in his Army jacket yesterday will become a symbol of strong leadership or a symbol of unwarranted bravado."

How can they come up with crap like this?

Isn't it a shame NOT that W ruined the holiday for so many liberal writers. Instead of spending Thanksgiving at home with their family, they had to spend the night writing their negative opinions. Boo hoo

[zook]

I just heard Mike Gallagher cite two smarmy Demo comments, one from a Dean spokesman and the other from Kerry. Any more?

[mtbopfuyn]

Compost indeed. I got teary eyed over the visit. Any Iraqi complaining about the visit being hush-hush better than their lucky stars he did take extra precaution and there wasn't an incident or there wouldn't be an Iraq today. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when Shrillary was told about being trumped.

[AZFolks]

Oh my. The criticisms are coming fast and furious. This demonstration of partisan stupidity further demonstrates how disconnected these folks are from us out here in fly over territory. The sad thing is that they don't even know it!
