Dick Morris thinks Bush will begin bringing troops home on weekly basis
starting sometime next year to blunt the Iraq issue and along with that he says an improving economy and Bush getting a prescription drug plan would almost guarantee him being a two term president.

Of course he says this will hurt Dean if he is the nominee because he will not be able to campaign on the Iraq war because elections "are always about the present and the future." but I say if this happens it doesn't matter who is the nominee, Dean or any of the candidates who supported the war resolution has the potential to be hurt.

Still, I don't think it is as crystal clear as Morris makes it. I feel that The Democratic nominee can make an effective case against the Bush foreign policy and record on security even if troops begin to come home. There are many questions for instance about what Bush knew and when regarding 9/11 and then there are the lies which led up to the war, which for some reason the Democrats have been letting Bush off the hook on of late. Finally, the war itself was the first pre-emptive war the US undertook--a fundamental shift in our foreign policy. Was the cost of such an undertaking worth the lives lost and bodies maimed? was it worth the price to our national treasury? these questions should still be asked.

5. i saw that interview
well actually it wasnt in interview, it was a CLinton hate festival, which made Bill and Hill sound as if they are plotting to rule the world and drink the blood of christian babies. it was something to behold.

I love when Dick "Eater" Morris cracked a smile and said "Oh Bill, youll just love this. . ." and went on to talk about the CLintons

3. I'm not sure that Rove/Bush/Cheney *want* troops comming

home any time soon. When they get here in large numbers there will many, many more people talking about what it's like on the gropund over there. Not a good thing for Chimpy & Co.

4. Even if all troops are out of Iraq before the election,
Iraq and all events that led to the war are debateable topics for the election. Bush is going to run on his record, therefore, it is the democrats responsibility to discuss it.
