Bush's New Iraq Argument: It Could Be Worse
By Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 24, 2006; Page A01
Of all the words that President Bush used at his news conference this week to defend his policies in Iraq, the one that did not pass his lips was "progress."
For three years, the president tried to reassure Americans that more progress was being made in Iraq than they realized. But with Iraq either in civil war or on the brink of it, Bush dropped the unseen-progress argument in favor of the contention that things could be even worse.
On Monday, President Bush said that "these are challenging times and they're difficult times and they're straining the psyche of our country."
The shifting rhetoric reflected a broader pessimism that has reached into even some of the most optimistic corners of the administration -- a sense that the Iraq venture has taken a dark turn and will not be resolved anytime soon. Bush advisers once believed that if they met certain benchmarks, such as building a constitutional democracy and training a new Iraqi army, the war would be won. Now they believe they have more or less met those goals, yet the war rages on.
While still committed to the venture, officials have privately told friends and associates outside government that they have grown discouraged in recent months. Even the death of al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq proved not to be the turning point they expected, they have told associates, and other developments have been relentlessly dispiriting, with fewer signs of hope.
Bush acknowledged this week that he has been discouraged as well. "Frustrated?" he asked. "Sometimes I'm frustrated. Rarely surprised. Sometimes I'm happy. This is -- but war is not a time of joy. These aren't joyous times. These are challenging times and they're difficult times and they're straining the psyche of our country."
Damn Mrs Green, that was fast I no more than posted that story which you couldnt possibly have read in that amount of time as usual before you copied and pasted some crap.
I will have to read your drivel and get back to you on that!
Mres. Green,
I think you need to go back and read the story I posted, it came straight from CENTCOM, you remember them, the people in CHARGE of this?

The President is right! It is frustrating especially to those of us who never get to hear or see the good news comming from Iraq only the terrorist actions!
Someday Mrs. Green you need to click on the Bright Yellow arrow at the top of this page and read what the Soldiers are really saying, it's very informative with LIVE Video, and Video the journalist accompanying the troops keeps uploading to YouTube.com
Thank goodness I get Department of Defense email and Centcom email or we would really think Iraq has gone to hell in a henbasket which it really hasnt.
But even when a good story is presented right before your Liberal eyes you either dont read it or refuse to believe it because you on the left want Iraq to be a disaster which is isnt!
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid Mrs. Green.
Also Mrs Green,
I havent kept up with this blog much lately but I am going to start again, this has all the real news from Iraq.
For The Troops
Forget it Marie, no matter how much solid and irrefutable evidence you present to the defeatist, hate America first and hate Bush too crowd. They are not going to read it or believe it if they do read it.
Wasn't it just a few posts ago that your defeatist commentor was saying that in order to win this thing we should abandon the Rumsfeld plan and have to send in more troops. Then I read today that they are reactivating active reserve Marines and the defeatists are going bonkers screaming that the draft is next?
Aye, yie, yie, yie, yie there's just no end to their defeatism. Sheesh and all that! After all the headstands, contortions and distortions of the truth it really does make wonder which side they are really on. I never thought that before but daggone it's what I'm thinking now.
The insurgency gains fuel and momentum from the media portrayal. The terrorists know how to work the North VietCong playbook. What they can't win militarily, they can win through setting off the next IED explosion or homicide bomber...knowing the headlines will do much of the dirty work in demoralizing. And the left and the whiners and the anti-war crowd, and the appeasement sheep are determined to prove the terrorists right when Osama labels the U.S. a "paper tiger" that can't suck it up when we have our nose bloodied. Democrats hate having their "plan" labeled as a "cut-and-run" strategy, but that's exactly what it is. 2 versions of it even. Call it for what it is and be proud of it, for goodness sake! If that's what you want, why be ashamed of it? It is what it is, and leaders like John Kerry learned none of the right lessons from our abandonment of Vietnam, and the resultant catastrophe and suffering that followed. I thought Democrats cared about "the brown people"? That they'd want us to help people other than our own? What a crock.
JG,
Forget it Marie, no matter how much solid and irrefutable evidence you present to the defeatist, hate America first and hate Bush too crowd. They are not going to read it or believe it if they do read it.

I know I really should just forget it, but I feel it is my American duty to expose the Lunatic left for who they really are and let the whole damn world see what they are.

Yep that lunatic posted that, I dont remember where but it sounds familiar, yeah that's it just because she sees nothing but another truck bomb went off in Baghdad today, she is missing the whole point of the home building being done in Iraq, the Iraqi Army being built up, all the construction going on, everything that is going RIGHT in Iraq is NOT being reported, you have to scower the internet for good stories, thank heaven I get DOD email and Centcom email to tell me what is really going on over there, or I would think Iraq has gone to hell in a henbasket too which it hasnt but you wouldnt know it talking to a Liberal.
Yeah that's it alright, let Rumsfeld go in the middle of the war on terrorism, he won a successful war in Afghanistan, and he constantly has to make changes in Iraq with the commanders on the ground as terrorists make changes with thier attacks.
The left way of thinking is scary.
Aye, yie, yie, yie, yie there's just no end to their defeatism. Sheesh and all that! After all the headstands, contortions and distortions of the truth it really does make wonder which side they are really on. I never thought that before but daggone it's what I'm thinking now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yep the Liberal Lunatics are really losing control of themselves, maybe we should arm ourselves if we arent already armed because I think the Left is really about to become unhinged, and come in our homes and try to harm us or something!
Word,
So true. The media is feeding them and now even North Korea knows what buttons to push (Pardon the pun)on America thank's to flakes like the New York Times, other Liberal Media Morons, the anti-America-War-Crowd, Michael Moore, Moveon.org, The Huffington Post, most of Hollywood I could go on but I'm getting sick at the thought.
What the Lunatic Left is trying to get away with is totally unacceptable and I am going to do everthing I CAN to expose these idiots to the world.
This year's Democratic plan for the future is another inane sound bite designed to trick American voters into trusting them with national security.
To wit, they're claiming there is no connection between the war on terror and the war in Iraq, and while they're all for the war against terror — absolutely in favor of that war — they are adamantly opposed to the Iraq war. You know, the war where the U.S. military is killing thousands upon thousands of terrorists (described in the media as "Iraqi civilians," even if they are from Jordan, like the now-dead leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi). That war.
As Howard Dean put it this week, "The occupation in Iraq is costing American lives and hampering our ability to fight the real global war on terror."
This would be like complaining that Roosevelt's war in Germany was hampering our ability to fight the real global war on fascism. Or anti-discrimination laws were hampering our ability to fight the real war on racism. Or dusting is hampering our ability to fight the real war on dust.
Maybe Dean is referring to a different globe, like Mars or Saturn, or one of those new planets they haven't named yet.
Assuming against all logic and reason that the Democrats have some serious objection to the war in Iraq, perhaps they could tell us which part of the war on terrorism they do support. That would be easier than rattling off the long list of counterterrorism measures they vehemently oppose.
They oppose the National Security Agency listening to people who are calling specific phone numbers found on al-Qaida cell phones and computers. Spying on al-Qaida terrorists is hampering our ability to fight the global war on terror!
Enraged that the Bush administration deferred to the safety of the American people rather than the obstructionist Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, one Clinton-appointed judge, James Robertson, resigned from the FISA court in protest over the NSA spying program.
Democratic Sen. Russell Feingold called for a formal Senate censure of President Bush when he found out the president was rude enough to be listening in on al-Qaida phone calls. (Wait until Feingold finds out the White House has been visiting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's "MySpace" page!)
Last week a federal judge appointed by Jimmy Carter ruled the NSA program to surveil phone calls to al-Qaida members in other counties unconstitutional.
Democrats oppose the detainment of Taliban and al-Qaida soldiers at our military base in Guantanamo, Cuba. Democrats such as Rep. Jane Harman, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, have called for Guantanamo to be shut down.
The Guantanamo detainees are not innocent insurance salesmen imprisoned in some horrible mix-up like something out of a Perry Mason movie. The detainees were captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan. You remember — the war liberals pretended to support right up until approximately one nanosecond after John Kerry conceded the 2004 election to President Bush.
But apparently, imprisoning al-Qaida warriors we catch on the battlefield is hampering our ability to fight the global war on terror.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin has compared Guantanamo to Nazi concentration camps and Soviet gulags, based on a report that some detainees were held in temperatures so cold that they shivered and others were forced to listen to loud rap music — more or less approximating the conditions in the green room at "The Tyra Banks Show." Also, one of the detainees was given a badminton racket that was warped.
New York Times columnist Bob Herbert complained this week that detainees in Guantanamo have "no hope of being allowed to prove their innocence." (I guess that's excluding the hundreds who have been given administrative hearings or released already.)
Of course all the usual "human rights" groups are carping about how brutally our servicemen in Guantanamo are treating the little darlings who are throwing feces at them.
Democrats oppose the Patriot Act, the most important piece of legislation passed since 9/11, designed to make the United States less of a theme park for would-be terrorists.
The vast majority of Senate Democrats (43-2) voted against renewing the Patriot Act last December, whereupon their minority leader, Sen. Harry Reid, boasted: "We killed the Patriot Act" — a rather unusual sentiment for a party so testy about killing terrorists.
In 2004, Sen. John Kerry — the man they wanted to be president — called the Patriot Act "an assault on our basic rights." At least all "basic rights" other than the one about not dying a horrible death at the hand of Islamic fascists. Yes, it was as if Congress had deliberately flown two commercial airliners into the twin towers of our Constitution.
They oppose profiling Muslims at airports.
They oppose every bust of a terrorist cell, sneering that the cells in Lackawanna, New York City, Miami, Chicago and London weren't a real threat like, say, a nondenominational prayer before a high school football game. Now that's a threat.
