Bush Commentary

Sidestepping on Iraq

Mr. Bush still hung onto his most well-worn buzzwords, however. Iraq was a "threat" — just as the tax cuts were "a job-creation program." The president and his advisers obviously still believe that the constant repetition of several simplistic points will hypnotize the American people into forgetting the original question.

Well, it's worked so far for them, why stop now? Our only hope of taking back the country is if we continue to debunk these kind of statements as loudly as possible to wake people up to what is really happening. His dip in the polls suggests that is happening, which is good. But it has to be kept up for the next year if the Dems have any chance.
