I totally agree with you. I think it starts with the President getting out and pushing for the coverage of the news and such.
Do you think Pres Bush will go by Iraq on the way home to show how safe it is there and to encourage the voting coming up. It would sure be a big lift to the troops and something he should do more often.
That's a thought and a real possibility. Condi did a surprise visit...it was a surprise totally for security reasons...so if W takes a jog to visit the troops in Iraq or even Afghanistan...he'll have to do it...then we hear after the visit is over and he's back in the air on AF1...
It would be a nice gesture for the President to visit the troops in Iraq. Remember Thanksgiving two years ago.
The dems would be in high dungeon screaming about this. Photo ops! Liar, liar and using the troops as political pawns would be their main talking points.
