Well said, Rush.
Also, I don't think that "Stay The Course" ever was a good campaign theme for the war in Iraq.
Bush should have said, "We all want to get out of Iraq. There are three specific things we are looking to make happen so we can bring our troops home...:"
But unfortunately, all we heard was "Stay the Course."
Couple that with the DBM/DNC focus on casualties only, no successes and Joe & Jane Sixpack that don't dig deeper will ask "why would we want to stay on this course?". Yes the President made some wonderful speeches to expand the topic. But they got 5% of the coverage of daily IED / car bombing.
