Do you believe the "biased national press" should report Bush's
announcement, but suppress stories about things which contradict what he
said?

Uh huh. Why is that, exactly? Because Saddam was responsible for Sept
11th?

Face facts, Fox is nothing but a Bush-Cheney propaganda outlet. It's
amazing to me that with the millions they spend primping the Bush
Administration (thru Fox and other media), they're still in the mud. Nixon
did a better job... at least, up until he got caught.


... They never report on the strategic value Iraq has. IF it has no
value then why is there such a massive terrorism campaign there and not
in Afghanistan.

Excuse me, there *is* a massive terrorism campaign going on in
Afghanistan. The difference is that there are far fewer U.S. troops there,
they're better insulated, and the whole country has a far lower population
density.

... Everytime I hear of more terrorism in Iraq I KNOW we are in the
right place.

That figures.

You don't think that these people are evil incarnate, worse than Hitler or
Stalin. Saddam is tame in comparison. One of the only arguments that I
accept from the left is that it would have been better to leave Saddam in
power than to allow the terrorists to control Iraq.

No explain why we're doing sucha great job in Iraq if fewer people have
running water & electricity now than 2 years ago, and the Army can't even
keep the road to the airport safe.

Here is where the problem occurs, we are in Iraq for a number of good
reasons, we may NOT be doing a good job. You seem to think that "we" give
Bush a pass on all things when "we" respond to the Bush bashing. "YOU" focus
the arguments to areas that you think (because of the incestuous nature of
the news medias you watch) are a slam dunk. Thus it appears that we are
always defending Bush administration policy. "We" have no argument with Bush
policy, just it's implementation (at times).

Do you understand this???? You set the argument, You are ill informed about
policy goals of the administration, You do not listen to various news medias
and have a BIAS because of this. You assume others are biased because all
the news medias you listen to are agreed. Think about it, reread the news
articles and you will see "US" responding to distortions of facts, obvious
distortions.
