The analysts also noted that one of Bush's past attempts to boost morale over Iraq had backfired.

Bush landed in a navy jet on the deck of a US aircraft carrier on May 1 and announced to assembled crew, below a banner stating "Mission Accomplished", that major warfare had ended in Iraq.

Well, that didn't take long.

"AFP" - Informationa from a frog new agency is about as reliable as the old days of Radio Moscow or Pravda.

U of SF...LOL...hello, Dubya didn't do this for a boost in his poll numbers....

I am starting to question my own sanity. Why do I continue to read tripe like this? It only pisses me off.

"It was a real motivator for me personally," said Specialist James Echols, 22, of Luverne, Alabama. "He took time away from his family to meet us." Bush is the latest in a line of presidents who have had to boost the morale of US soldiers on the frontlines.

And then there was Bubba Clinton picking up that stone at Normandy -- thereby "boosting the morale" of WWII ghosts at his photo-op.

LOL, watch them polls!

Perhaps the point of this trip had nothing to do with polls here in the States. Bush was concerned about his troops.

[hope]

The libs just can't figure out that Bush doesn't do things the way they do.

[Newbomb Turk]

Sure Sure. Even the fools over at Democratic Underground know President Bush pulled the Coup of the Century today.

The are crying all over themselves about this President.

Clinton would just be getting a Thanksgiving Hummer in the Oval Office.

"I think the troops are demoralized, dealing with problems. If the commander-in-chief comes, even though only for two hours in the airport, it helps them," said Judith Kipper, a Middle East expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.

the troops are demoralized????

I don't visit DU (ever) but if anybody wants to post this photo there, I'm sure it will kill about half of their regular posters from convulsive spasms and head explosions:

I'll bet she hasn't been near a Soldier since she spit on one comming back from Nam....

Mark for posterity (later read).

Great story.

Bush's Iraq coup unlikely to boost US polls (gag)

Even if true, they couldn't print the other ugly alternative story:
Dubya may have simply solidified his standing in US polls.

And even that is enough to give the DemocRATS chills of fear.

[Terridan]

Well, at least our leader of the free world didn't turn tail and run like the UN, Italy, France, and Japan. He risked his life to go be with the "boys". No coward here, just a very focused and committed President, willing to stand by his men.
