Nice political move, and you have to admit the response from the troops to his visit was fantastic.
And it irks the hell out of General Pelosi and company.
Bush always does well when he remembers to go on offense instead of playing prevent-defense, turning the other cheek and taking a beating.
The worm is turning on the Dems regarding the war. It is not that we have won the war yet, but clearly significant progress has been made in the WORST part of the country. I listen to NPR here in South Georgia when driving to work, since the other news stations are awful. Clearly, the Dems are focusing on the “political” progress. What do they want us to do sponsor a coop against Malaki? Their persistence in hammering at Bush on the war is backfiring hugely. If this time next year the war in Iraq is going fairly well, like half/third the casualties per month, and we have started removing troops, then the Dems will be in a world of hurt.
