I thought Bush did a superb thing by flying out to the carrier for his announcement of the end of major hostilities.

His announcement was accurate and well recieved by crew, the military and the nation.

How would you feel if a foreign government shot at your President?

Well... technically, you can't really have a war until the other side shows up... nevertheless... I believe Bush declared a victory in Iraq and IIRC, it was while showboating on an aircraft carrier.

What speech were you listening to, Sandy?

He declared an end to major hostilites but was very careful not to delcare and end to the conflict. IIRC, he even went so far as to warn the listener that the war was far from over.

Wow, you mean Chilean commandos haven't yet invaded and whisked Kissenger away to the world courts, what gives?

Whew the problem is worse than I feared. It would seem to me that the liberals, at least on this board, suffer from convenient memories.

1. Bush never said we'd be in and out in 6 months.

2. Bush never said the war was over.

3. Bigsky, it's called a war. People die and get horribly disfigured, it sucks, but it's part of war. Remember we're at war and have been for a little over 2 years now.

jeez you people are freakin short sighted idiots.

Udie, I've been trying to point that out for months now, they won't get it. They want to crawl back into their hole and live a pre 9/11/01 life.

Our local news carried 2 stories on Iraq yesterday.

1. A joint Iraqi / US operation to arrest suspected Fehdayin. Considered successful, led by Iraqis. Good news.

2. American soldiers teaching American football to Iraqi kids.

(bloodthirsty media?)

It's interesting how some here have decided to look only at the favorable parts of that survey....here's a part of it not posted here:

Countrywide, only 33 percent thought they were better off than they were before the invasion and 47 percent said they were worse off. And 94 percent said that Baghdad was a more dangerous place for them to live.

Using only positive or negative parts of a survey is SOP for those pushing an agenda.

OK, going out on a limb here. I'm gonna go to 3 major news services CNN, MSNBC and Fox and get all the Iraq news items for today... lets see what happens (actually typing this before I look)

midnight Target · « **Reply #58 on:** September 29, 2003, 04:49:32 PM »

btw negative= antibush/war positive=supportive bush/war

MSNBC -
1. 8-hour battle follows new bombings (soldier killed - pretty negative)
2. Lawmakers eye Iraq costs, intel - Rice, Powell reject claims
of vague WMD intelligence (negative)
3. Iraq, 9/11 still linked by Cheney Meeting between Atta, Iraqi agent has been widely discredited (really negative)
4. Dude, where’s my coalition? - Op-ed page (negative)
5. The rat of Baghdad Tales of media malfeasance and bribery in Iraq (actually pro Bush - dumps on Saddam pretty hard and on the media in Bahgdad pre war positive)

Fox
1. U.S. Troops Come Under Attack in Iraq (kinda negative)
2. U.S. Troops Take On Syrian Border (positive)
3. U.S. to Give U.N. Stronger Say in Iraq Elections (positive spin on negative story... )

CNN

2. Homefront's joyful reunion, uneasy goodbye (very positive story, kinda negative headline)

Overall pretty negative slant.
