New Bush drive for support on Iraq

[Imagevision]

<snip> Faced with reduced approval of occupation, the president is launching a public-relations offensive for staying the course.

When President Bush addresses the nation Tuesday evening from Fort Bragg, N.C., a tableau of US troops behind him, he will make his boldest effort in months to reassure Americans that the administration is not "disconnected from reality" in Iraq, as even some in his own party now charge.

Already, for the past week, Bush's new emphasis on Iraq has been well rehearsed: The road ahead is tough, and the casualties weigh on him personally, but the US must press ahead. Iraq is moving forward with a new constitution and national elections. Setting a timetable for US withdrawal would only aid the enemy.

1. He should set the example: tell the world he encouraged his kids to enlist

Along with Jeb's felon kids.

2. There's Never Been A Long-Term War Without A Draft

What's he gonna say about THAT??

3. Nope, we don't need leadership or statesmanship

What America needs now is a good PR offensive.

4. Because the SS tour was such a huge success.

The more America sees of Chimpy McCuckoo, the less they like him.

It's not like the election where the entire RWM goes negative on an opponent and he is picked as the least of two evils.

Now he is fighting for ideas that suck.

5. Could George surprsie us
