I'm not sure why Reuters/Id feels the need to create the misleading implication that President Bush is only now admitting "tough going" in Iraq. He was saying that even before he was re-elected.





I don't know where G-Man/Wonderbread/wbam feel the need to criticize the media or myself regarding this. From the quotes below, it wasn't Reuters or myself or any "liberals" criticizing the incessant rosy Iraq picture painted by the Administration... It was your guys. Don't shoot the messenger.

"Too often we've been told and the American people have been told that we're at a turning point," said McCain, who described Cheney's characterization as inaccurate.

Another top Republican, Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, was quoted by U.S. News and World Report as saying the White House was "disconnected from reality" in its optimism over the war.

"Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse... It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq," Hagel said.



Now if you want to call them Bush-hating Liars, then knock yourselves out.

As for our "humane" treatment of prisoners at Gitmo....

I seem to recall one story a while back about a soldier that was posing as an inmate there and was beaten to a pulp and still has trauma because the guards were unaware he wasn't the real deal.

Former Soldier Disputes Army Denials That He Was Beaten During Training Exercises In Cuba

Real humane....

Hmmm... one thing are those so called "trained to lie" prisoners, this however is something else altogether..

Let me guess.... he voted for Kerry and is biased against Bush, huh?

Try as you may to put those criticizing and reporting, on the defensive, these detention centers/black holes are against everything we stand for as a nation.

As for our recruitment shortages: Why don't we simply look to the existing citizenry who voted to support this war president (his words) and his war in Iraq? Where are all those tough-talking, yellow-magnet-sporting millions of voters now? The military should simply be targeting the young, Bush-supporting voters to walk the talk, since they consider themselves the uber-patriots of America.
