It's different now. Terrorists are all Saddam's got. And what makes you
think they're radical Islamists?

this might sound like nitpicking, but there was no such thing. (If that
happened then there must be a release of all POW); he declared the end of
major combats (on his PR-tour on the carrier).

It's nice to see the thumb uppers out number the thumb downers.

A little editorial quote from Max Boot in the Wall Street Journal on the
subject:

"The most compelling evidence of the success of President Bush's trip to
Iraq was the reaction of the opposition. No, not the Iraqi opposition -- or
"resistance," as the French have taken to calling it. I mean the American
opposition: the Democrats and the news media.

The former were forced to concede that, as a John Edwards adviser put it,
the visit was a "daring move and great politics." In a pathetic attempt to
find something negative to say, Howard Dean's spokesman sound-bited as
follows: "This visit won't change the fact that those brave men and women
should never have been fighting in Iraq in the first place." Thanks, Howard.
I'm sure the troops appreciate your support."

"Great politics", sure. Obviously it was great politics. Daring? Hardly,
and no one was forced to concede that point.

Funny thing about editorials, even those in the WSJ: just like the Usenet,
you can say pretty much anything you want.

QED. If he does something right, it is just politics. If he does something
you don't like, it is business as usual.

Or perhaps you had not noticed how cynical your post was?

That's obviously your impression. Suffice to say, it's not shared by all.
In particular, your definition of "something right" is by no means
universal.

Not noticed? It was *intended* to be cynical. I have a very cynical
opinion of political leadership, Bush included.

Whereas I think sometimes politicians, even Bush, will do something because
they think it is the right thing to do.

Put pretty concisely and accurately, if you ask me.

But then, you didn't, did you.

I think dubya knows he's in trouble in the polls. If he were not having poll
trouble, he would not have made the trip. If this were his second term, he
would not have made the trip.

Really? It was just on NPR that if the election were held today, not only
would GW take Florida "cleanly", but he'd win the election nationally.

This poll data puts him against any Democrat currently running.
