Ray was just telling me yesterday how loved we are in Iraq... If you would stop getting your "news" from CNN and the NYT you would know the facts.

Can you imagine what happened when the Bush appointed panel figured this one out Ray was just telling me yesterday how loved we are in Iraq...as Franken said about bush...leave'm alone...they don't know. You should have heard Larry Kudlow last night desperately trying to get Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institute who was just back from Iraq to agree that most Iraqis love us and that the media is painting a too dark picture. He literally said they are throwing "bouquets of roses" at our soldiers. The conservatives will do or say anything to prove their point and truth has little to do with it. Fortunately, O'Hanlon is not partisan, very bright and very clever. He got the point across that while good things are happening, there are a great deal of problems....all that without freaking out Kudlow. He also gently pointed out that the Iraqis were not throwing bouquets at our troops. It gets tiring that they try over and over to make the media and others the fall guy when the problem is of their own creation. They can't accept that their thesis is screwed and not working. They need to grow up and take their medicine. ted
