Only the undecided extremist liberals who find it acceptable to take humorous potshots at a sitting president during a war in which American soldiers are being killed, all for political purposes.

You are taking Bush's rhetoric hook line and sinker.

What is going on in Iraq now is not a "war" in any normal usage of the word.

The current efforts in Iraq should be an attempt to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis to adopt a democratic system. You don't win hearts and minds of a population by going to war with them.

You are using Bush's seemingly patriotic but actually misleading language by calling the current situation in Iraq a "war". It is no more a war at the moment than the war on drugs, the war on crime, or the war on defective computer parts.

Bush is not a war president, although he is a president that appears to be very supportive of war in order to force his view of the proper way to live on societies that don't live that way.

Sheesh! Why am I posting this to you? You've already said that you are not going to question the military regardless of what they do and how they are lead. You have more confidence in Yale C student not very hard working son of former leader George than I do, that's for sure.
