Bush's New Iraq Argument: Um, Er, It Could Be Worse...


Bush's New Iraq Argument: It Could Be Worse

By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 24, 2006; Page A01

Of all the words that President Bush used at his news conference this week to defend his policies in Iraq, the one that did not pass his lips was "progress."

For three years, the president tried to reassure Americans that more progress was being made in Iraq than they realized. But with Iraq either in civil war or on the brink of it, Bush dropped the unseen-progress argument in favor of the contention that things could be even worse.

1. Every democratic person running should have this idea as an ad.
We are now in a war with a country that had nothing to do with 9/11
and will be there to 2009.

That is exactly what bush said at his press conference.

DLC, DNC, DCCC, and all are you listening?

Terror is the only thing that bush has a lead in the polls on and that
too can be knocked down PDQ.
