tabs is spot-on. . ..America wants instant gratification..that everything must be resolved in a one hour.
Iraq is a friggin' WAR. We are not fighting 'insurgence' there. We are fighting terrorist, who are hell bent on seeing America FAIL.

Oh, gimme a break? Do you actually believe what you've just posted?
If you can't see the one step forward, two steps back scenario perpetuating itself in Iraq, then clearly you just refuse to see it. The administration isn't even mentioning Jan. elections anymore because 1) Kerry'd be all over the unlikelihood of it like a wet rag, and 2) the administration itself knows it's a pipe dream given the unrest in the country.
Insurgents? Bush has used the word many times to describe the enemy we are fighting. Insurgents and terrorists are one in the same to Bush/Cheney.
And yeah, right: Tabs is spot on, not only because it's true, but because this was what the president initially promised. An easy war for downtrodden souls who want democracy. That was a resolved, committed statement from him. He wasn't "just saying."
