Reply #8: I agree that Americans will feel safer if they hear the General's views [View All]

only from ordinary Americans in the street, and if they hear bush regime spin, and if they do not see the results of the General's words in action.

The bush regime thinks so, too, and there are lots of people working very hard to make sure that the media stays on message.

Americans want to hear good news about Iraq - schools being rebuilt, grateful Iraqis welcoming their liberators, and the regime will make sure that you get it, because they know that feeling safe is important.

The best thing that I can do to help is to tell you that while the minority of American voters who disagree with the General may be very upset by his statement of bush regime policy, most of the world pays very little attention to anything said by the bush regime.

What people do pay attention to are the actions of the bush regime, and that does have an impact on your safety.

Until and unless other nations can find the courage to disarm the bush regime, I regret that I cannot be more encouraging regarding the regime's actions and your safety.

I can tell you that the General's words, however, will have little impact in that regard.

The only people surprised or shocked are that minority of Americans who disagree with the General. Nothing he said was either a surprise or a shock to people anywhere else.
