Good one! A bias toward negativism, however, is not the same as being critical of Bush's tactics. That's more a reflection of fear and paranoia. Also, Bush wanted to go it alone militarily, for the most part excepting Britain, it was only recently that he started searching for a wider base of military support to bolster a declining public opinon outside of the U.S.

It's interesting though, the most negativity I could find was in the media's self analysis.
Anyways, thanks for the link. You've put me in my place.

"The balance, I think, is toward negativism. The media have a tendency to see every U.S. armed conflict as a Vietnam "quagmire" in the making and to look for evidence of its unfolding."
