And now that Bush has escalated, the debate is bitter.
The rhetoric cannot possibly be escalated to a higher level after Liberals claimed GWB misled and lied us into war.
You stole my words!
Pres B is silent and he is "hiding"
Pres B speaks out and he is "escalating"
This makes my stomach sour, how low will they go?
Hofstra (?) House intel has made a wonder strong statement on reps who say they did not have the same intel. He says they have access to everything (people, agencies) and did not do their due diligence if they say that. They let down their constituents.
The left, and here AP is clearly showing a bias in that direction, has for years attempted to establish a political continuum in which "dialogue" involves them making accusations and their opponents restricted first to defending against them and then to admitting their truth. This is the sort of dialogue popular among Soviet re-education camps, which is pretty much what the modern media have attempted to mimic and came very close to establishing. They decide, they report, you agree.
AP, Reuters, the NY Times, the Christian Science Monitor, AFP, the BBC...the list is a long and depressing one. Those on it are perfectly aware of what they're about and have been so unopposed for so long that they've grown arrogant and clumsy and shrink in horror from the first Rush or Fox who comes along.
Every single story I've read in any of the aforementioned on the topic of Bush's speech treats the matter as if he were doing something seedy and unfair by quoting the words of his critics back at them. I think Mencken was wrong - at some point you do go broke underestimating the intelligence of the public.
Amazing. The libs are in true form. Anytime anyone calls them what they are, anti-American, anti-military treasonist anal orifices, they cry foul.
It is about time Bush stood up and defended this country's polition against the communists that are trying to tear it down. WAAAAYYY overdue. Too little, too late really.
AP and it's demo operatives provide more aid and comfort to international terrorists.
This must be working, because all of the sudden the democrats are trotting out Lieberman to bemoan the "excessive partisanship" of the debate and to call for bipartisan cooperation on the war.
And the democrats in the senate have proposed a "sense of the Senate" resolution to make it look like they are in front of what is already happening without them, the success in Iraq with the likely drawdown of troops next year.
And Republicans are still in hiding.
Its sinful that President Bush should have to defend himself. That his own party doesnt have the balls to do it for him. Where is Dr. Frist still looking at the stem cell crystal ball?
It's about time he escalated this war of words, and fought back against these treasonous pigs.
I don't think the AP is even trying anymore
Bush defends himself from LIARS..........is more like it. Escalates -- no way.
"Rats realize all hell just broke loose ..."
I think that about sums it up .. how dare that cowboy expose us for the liars we are.
You got my vote on that!
We ALWAYS let the Dems get away with rewriting history.
It is TIME we stop letting them get away with it.
There is no need to get down and dirty (which is really what held us back to now; Republicans distaste for non-factual distortion of the facts.) We just need to keep hammering back with the real facts.
LOL, now that Bush is finally fighting back, it's a "bitter debate".
Terence Hunt and the AP are such scumbags.
See tagline
Absolutely. The damned press is as much an enemy of the US as Al-Qaeda. I hate them.
