Impeach Bush! How's that going anyway?
I genuinely feel sorry for you guys on this stuff, such a disconnect from reality.

The Bush 2004 re-election campaign was recommending Woodward's last book, they actually had it on their website ... watch how fast he goes from hero to traitor.
This is a dangerous crowd we have running our nation. I don't know how it got to this, but we need a change, and fast.

The fact that Woodward's first two books of this series "Bush At War" , were so positive in regards towards this Administration...is EXACTLY what makes this book so damaging...and believable!
Coupled with the fact that Woodward is Republican... what a title: "State Of Denial" SvK

Either they are lying or they believe it. Whichever it is, they need to be gone. And daddy, it's not "blind anger." It's principled disagreement over how these clowns are running our country. There's nothing "blind" about it, it's based on facts. The only "blindness" I see is on the support side, as each new piece of bad news comes in and it gets ignored or whitewashed.

In retrospect the whole thing may have been a bad idea. Not the invasion, but the attempted rebuilding and occupation. Saddam needed to be slapped down, the world needed to know that we were done being a paper tiger, that when we say something they can take it to the bank. So when Saddam was warned and failed to comply......we did the right thing. Where Bush may have gone wrong was in his attempt to be humanitarian after he was toppled. Not that that I disagree with his intent, but he perhaps should have known or been advised that our citizens don't have the stones or heart to stand united during such a visionary long term campaign regardless of the potential long term gains. Then again he may be right and this will turn eventually, maybe I too have fallen victim to the negative mentality that infects the left. These types of things can change overnight.

Woodward compromised his own journalistic principles for access to the Administration. I hope his book is a flop.

The place to convince the world we were done being a paper tiger was in Afghanistan (and Pakistan, if necessary). Not Iraq.
Instead we let the Al Qaeda core, the Taliban and any hope of redemtption for 9/11 slip right through our fingers and focus on Iraqetnam.
