Like the other liberal propaganda I see --about the iraq war, and any number of other issues-- it is a selective omission and re-interpretation of the facts, to make things far darker than they really are. For every American soldier killed, there are a thousand schools, businesses, hospitals, etc., built in the new free Iraq.
It's funny how you criticize the "liberal media" for selective ommission and reinterpretation of the facts to make things far darker that they are, while you do the same thing to make things seem much better. A 1000:1 is much more than a slight exaggeration. Are you even counting the ones destroyed or devastated by this war? It's probably more like 1:1. But only time will tell if this war did good. Bias and exaggeration is a two way street.

I don't disagree that this war has gone good. It's been fast, there's been relatively few casualties, and Saddam Hussein has been removed from power. But I'm still a little skeptical of the justifications and agendas behind the scenes.

Again, we WERE in Germany, Japan, and more recently Bosnia and Kosovo for many years more than was initially projected, to do the job right. Liberals aren't interested in doing the job right, just smearing a Republican president.
Germany and Japan were much more complicated than Bosnia and Kosovo, and even Iraq. Rebuilding industrialized nations is much more complex than rebuilding third world nations.

You're right, when you bomb the crap out of a third world nation struggling with a dictatorship, you have to stick around.

I commend Bush for doing the heavy lifting, that Clinton and Gore didn't have the guts to do. This war should have been fought sometine between 1995-1998.
If it was so urgent, why didn't Bush invade when he first got into office. Sept. 11 is what got the public behind the idea of war with Iraq.

Bush is not worrying about popular opinion polls to determine his policy.
You're absolutely right, he doesn't seem to listen to the majority of the people.
