Bush's PR push on Iraq

But the daily reports of Americans being killed or wounded are creating a credibility problem for a president who keeps shifting his rationales for having gone into Iraq without the United Nations and dissembles on the situation there now.

At the same time, his $87 billion occupation and reconstruction bill has been a dash of cold water in the face of voters and Congress even as he rejects calls for an end or reduction of his tax cuts for the wealthy to meet the war's huge costs.

Maybe the latest public relations push will stem the growing criticism of the president and his elective war. But in the television era, when what's happening brings reality into American living rooms each night, it will be a hard sell, as we learned in Vietnam, if those body bags keep coming home.
