Interesting thought. But I don't understand this:
The Bush Administration has, up to now, been able to alter the negative editorial perspective of those who decide what will and will not be reported about this war.

That's a silly statement.

No more ‘symbolic’ gestures, Mr. President!!

Turn our guys loose with realistic ROE, and stand back

The President should go to Iraq and walk the streets. Preferable in Ramadi as well as Baghdad. He should be seen looking over a captured weapons cache with Iranian-produced EFPs. He should be videotaped reviewing prisoners, including Iranians. He should stop by eight or ten construction projects each day. He should visit the mass grave reported on by Michael Yon. Maybe slap Private Beauchamp around. Make these things "real" in the American public's mindset.

Keep in mind that this is as good as it gets in the war on IslamoFascism. We have the American military fighting Al Qaida and its affiliates on foreign soil. Al Qaida and the rest of the civilization-haters are not going to go away. They are going to try to kill us. The best people to deal with them are the U.S. Miltary. It's better for us if it happens somewhere else. Then the collateral damage and innocents caught in the crossfire are not American. It sucks but this is as good as it gets.

Ollie North did a great segment on Fox n Freinds this morning where he stressed Bush needs to go to Iraq and visit some of the success stories of the surge, like Ramadi. That way the media would have to cover it vs. ignoring it. Who knows? It might give the Iraqi politicians the kick in the butt they need to at long last take care of reconciliation.
