News Prompts Americans to Wonder What's Next

[Kat 333]

Across the nation, Mr. Hussein's capture seemed to change few peoples' minds about Iraq. Those who supported the war said the capture was crucial proof of strength for President Bush and evidence of the administration's wise handling of the situation. Those opposed to the war said apprehension of the Iraqi leader was positive, but that President Bush's political benefit would be short-lived, and that they would have been more impressed had soldiers found something different in the hole where Mr. Hussein was hiding: chemical or biological weapons.

The news brought no joy to Charley Richardson, father of a marine who served in Iraq and co-founder of Military Families Speak Out, a Boston-based group that has organized antiwar protests.

"This removes the last excuse that the Bush administration has been using to continue the occupation," he said. "They are excuses that have turned out to be lies all along — weapons of mass destruction, the connection between 9/11 and Saddam. It will bring to a head the question of why are we in Iraq. We'd like to see as a response that the troops are brought home. We fear this will not happen."

1. I do believe

that the Pundits and Reps are hoping for way too much here. They think everyone will stop and praise Bush and will forget about everything else.

2. The Rethugs and their Cable "News" Whores are telling us...

that we should all be worshipping at Bush's feet right now! :puke:

This still does not change the big picture and there is alot more work to be done.

This is why we need our own media machine. We need to counter this whores!

3. What's next? How bout asking the man where his WMD are!

Now that we have him in custody, finding those darn WMD should be a breeze. I'll just hold by breath until then.
