1. I think we know that Bush will do a "cut and run" in Iraq
simply by the effort put into attacking the anti-war movement.

It deflects the blame away from them with their base....see? it wasn't Bush who cut and run....it was the protesters forcing him to (so it's their fault)

They won't blame policy... to illegally invade for lies and to "cut and run"....they'll blame Cindy Sheehan and everyone else opposed to the war.

Same tactic used in Vietnam.

The war IS unpopular and it grows more and more unpopular with each passing day....but people are coming to this conclusion in their own way and for their own reasons....but if you can blame the protesters, then government is without fault for bad policy.

The anti-war movement gives people a chance to voice concerns they ALREADY have....it didn't plant those concerns. But that's not how the spin goes...
