"Step back and you see millions of people who will pick up any stick they can to beat the administration. They're perfectly aware of the cruel uncertainties that confront policy makers, but, opportunistically, they ignore them."

This cuts both ways. There are plenty on this thread wearing rose colored glasses regarding iraq for instance. The execution of the post war plan has been lousy. If this was a corportation, heads would roll. Bush should fire someone over what's going on and not going on now. Having said that there are always Plan B's in war. Whether its more troops or more cooperation with mainstream shiaa leaders I am not sure but some things must change if only to regroup and regain popular support.
Before i left for vacation Bush had the economic issue and the security issues and was faltering on iraq. Now the security issue is neutral, iraq seems to be a mess and only the economy is keeping bush close. If he wants to win, he needs to do a mea culpa of sorts and revamp this admininstration right now. Or he can hope that iraq gets materially better prior to the election. Mike
big PS Nadine, I heard last night that iran was controlling the insurgency in falujah and among the shiaa as well as growing problems in Mosul(near syria). There are iranian agents and proxies everywhere. We certainly cant go to war with iran or syria right now but can we help the iranian democrats to help spark a revolution there? How tight is the Mullahs control in iran?
