Miers was a terrible choice at a time Prsident Bush really needs the suppoprt of his base.
I didn't have the right italics in the original post. I don't belive Iraq is a quagmire - I was pulling a quote from the article. I believe Iraq is the only path to peace.

Thank you for the clarification.
As for the support of his "base", since the "he waved the white flag so he's a coward" crowd are already on this thread, I'll wait for the reaction to his next nominee. Whom I repeat for the thousandth time must accept the nomination. There's a big "if". So alleged Bush supporters who are only angry with him over his choice of Miers stand a good chance of being angry with him for being forced to choose another unpopular nominee if those ahead of him or her withdraw their names from consideration.
Another thing: I did not support Miers OR oppose her. I wanted to wait for the facts to come out and got seriously sick and tired of repeating over and over that we should wait until the HEARINGS before making judgements on her suitability in response to the baseless (at the time) accusations, claims she was only nominated because of her gender and chants of "withdraw this nominee now" which started on the day her nomination was announced. Accusations and baseless charges are hateful, evil things to do to a person. It's like framing someone for a crime they didn't commit.
