Support for Bush's War Declining, Too.

PRINCETON, NJ -- While the Bush administration is trying to emphasize
positive developments on the political front in Iraq, the recent
escalation of rebel violence there -- in addition to public concerns about
the costs of recovering from Hurricane Katrina -- may be costing President
Bush some public support for his Iraq policy.

Public approval of Bush's overall handling of the situation in Iraq has
tumbled eight points in just the past week, from 40% in a Sept. 8-11 poll
to 32% in the most recent CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, conducted Sept.
16-18. In fact, exactly 40% of Americans had approved of Bush's handling
of Iraq in each of the previous four measures, dating back to May. Now,
for the first time since the start of the Iraq war in 2003, two-thirds of
Americans disapprove of the job he is doing on Iraq.

They're asking the wrong question, but I suppose there are no options
available. The right question would be "Do you now see what an utterly
pointless choice Bush made by getting us involved in another country's
religious and political strife?"

Well, yes, but, that's a bit too loaded, eh? :}

Perhaps, but the right wording would require thought. That would never do.

Shouldn't Bush be flying to Galveston right now for a sound and video bit
expressing in advance his sorrow for the anticipated plight of the
residents there?

He doesn't know Galveston's in Texas.

Harry,
You were the person screaming because Bush did not visit NO and Miss.. You
want him there and then his wife to visit. Now that he has done what you
wanted, you are blaming him for making a show of it.

The truth of the matter, is the only reason a politician makes a personal
visit, is to make a show of it, to let the people know he cares. He can get
a more accurate picture by reviewing the reports by the experts.

Debate Issue:
Resolved, that the voters of the United States need a mechanism
to remove an incompetent President from office.

An alternative: write a letter to George W. Bush at the White House
and ask him to resign immediately for the good of the country and its
people.

Others:

1. Then: Bush is not spending enough on the disaster
Now: Bush is spending too much on the disaster

2. Then: The governor of LA constantly laying the blame on Bush for not
responding
Now: The truth comes out and the governor of LA tells folks to stop
blaming people.

My oh my. ;-)
