Yeah, so the Boy in the Bubble today has declared that he does not share the "pessimistic" assessments of the situation in Iraq and the Middle East.
President Bush, rejecting what he called "pessimistic" assessments of his Middle East policy, pledged Tuesday to make necessary changes in Iraq but vowed never to pull out U.S. troops before completing the mission there.
...
He acknowledged that "some in my country and some here in Europe are pessimistic about the prospect of democracy and peace in the Middle East." He added, "I understand these doubts, but I do not share them." The United States and NATO "refuse to give in to the pessimism that consigns millions across the Middle East to endless oppression," he said.
Well here's his task. If the situation is so good in Baghdad, why doesn't he just head over there and grab a table at a cafe in some bazaar and chat it up with the locals. You know, get some one-on-one advice; "Mano a Mano" as he used to like to challenge his dear old Dad.
I'm sure that he'd find the visit enlightening. I'm sure he's learn a few things. I'm also sure he's too big a coward to ever consider it. I mean having to talk to actual Iraqis? Whatever was I thinking. Never mind.

I was wondering when smeone would ask that simple question !?? If things are really all that great and we are making great progress as Dumbo says. WHY does he not take a side trip to Iraq to visit people there that feel so good about us being there .

I think Bush is reaching the breaking point. He says the trouble in Iraq is al Qaeda's fault. Without going into a deep analysis of the complex situation (which does include al Qaeda in some instances), what the hell is the president thinking?
To characterize the violence in Iraq without reference to the two biggest factors (Shia and Sunni differences), how can you expect any progress in the area?
I really feel sorry for those soldiers over there. I hope they don't get trapped.
our men and women in uniform will continue to die for bushits ego. People die so our pResident won't have to say he's sorry. Bushit should be in prison. In a truely justice oriented society he would have been, long ago. Profit has replace justice in amerika. Long live money.
