Everyone is reaching for a new direction and a new approach to the problems and they always have. Mistakes are always made and adjustments are always in motion. This is where you lefties get off track. You think that when a soldier is killed, that the war is going badly and it is all the President's fault. HELL YES, of course, the Middle east is a tough place to be, and Democracy will NOT come easy there. SO, you don't try? You just let the Islamonuts keep doing what they have been doing to us for years? You keep letting these despots get away with murder while you worry about what some burnt out comedian says or whether Walmart is unionized or not? Face it. your hatred of GWB has skewed everything you libbers stand for, and if you think for one minute that one midterm election is a Democrap mandate, you better think again.

Bush's only valid choice: Change course Mercury News Editorial Robert Gates admitted Tuesday what President Bush has refused to admit and what fired Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would concede only in a leaked classified memo: The United States is failing to win the war in Iraq. Gates' blunt acknowledgment, at his Senate confirmation hearing to replace Rumsfeld, adds pressure on a stubborn president to change tactics, including a new diplomatic initiative he has spurned. The options offered to him -- by Rumsfeld, the military chiefs of staff and the Iraq Study Group, which issues its report today -- are varied and sometimes incompatible. There is no clear path toward reversing the bleak situation in Iraq anytime soon. The United States no longer has leverage in Baghdad. Shiites and Sunnis are now in a civil war impervious to U.S. influence. Gates' nomination is assured because he isn't tied to the blunders in Iraq and so is believable when he promises to take a ``fresh look.'' His big challenge will be to convince a president stuck on ``staying the course.'' mercurynews.com
