Introducing an interview with conservative radio host Michael Reagan on the November 13 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto claimed that President Bush is "reaching out to congressional Democrats for ideas on how to handle Iraq," but that according to Reagan, "Democrats really don't want to see the problem solved because they do not want the president to get the credit." Indeed, Reagan asserted that Democrats "don't want this president to get the credit for ending the war in Iraq at all," (He did?... there was one?) adding that Democrats would prefer to "make Iraq stay in play at least through the 2008 election cycle so that they can use it as a wedge issue to, in fact, win the presidency in 2008."

CAVUTO: Well, President Bush also reaching out to congressional Democrats for ideas on how to handle Iraq. But if my next guest is right, Democrats really don't want to see the problem solved because they do not want the president to get the credit, credit like President Ronald Reagan and Republicans received for ending the Cold War. With us now to explain is President Reagan's son, Michael Reagan. So, Michael, you think the Democrats just don't want this president to come out of Iraq OK?

REAGAN: They don't want this president to get the credit for ending the war in Iraq at all. I mean, look at what happened over the weekend. You got what? You got Leahy out there wanting to throw the NSA program under the bus. You have Leahy out there also wanting to throw the Patriot Act under the bus. You got Pelosi throwing Steny Hoyer under the bus, Jane Harman under the bus. Alcee Hastings may be driving that bus. This does not look like a way to win the war in Iraq; it looks like a way, in fact, to make Iraq stay in play at least through the 2008 election cycle so that they can use it as a wedge issue to, in fact, win the presidency in 2008.

5. REAGAN: "I can't recall. See, he must've been my real Dad after all!"(nt)

2. More stupid projection by a crazy wingnut.

[clichemoth]

4. No, actually we do want him to get the credit.

1) It'd be over and no more Americans would be dying.

2) There is no way * can spin it as anything other than a loss. I don't think anyone's going to fall for the lie that the war was going just fine under this administration and the next one (whatever party they may represent) totally screwed it up.

6. But George W. Bush said that we would still be fighting this war

well into the next presidents (plural) ...
