No doubt the MSM has been playing up the negative aspects of the war, but then again, so much HAS been negative that NOT to do so would be criminal. Bush needs to set a date for withdrawal and start bringing our guys home. I have been a supporter for the longest time, but my patience is wearing thin with our guys getting blown up every day......and then the next day only brings more of the same. No reason we cannot have camps in remote parts of the country to train the Iraqi forces and leave them to do the grunt work. We have lost enough of our best men and women.....now it is their turn to step up to the plate. One more thing.....that scripted news conference really made me angry. I know of people in Iraq(family included) and not one said the rosy things those soldiers were prepped with. Bush needs to wake up. I think that scripted video conference call changed the way I think of Bush. "Stay the course" is not a viable strategy when you have men and women getting blown up on a daily basis. Brian
