http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2003-12-01-oppose_x.htmWhile the media breathlessly coo over President Bush's latest stunt to distract Americans from the casualties and chaos in Iraq, it is left to the Democrats to hold him accountable.
It is smart political strategy as well as Democrats' patriotic duty to challenge the president repeatedly for lying to get us into a war he has no plan to get us out of.
The conventional wisdom that says otherwise is the same that once said Howard Dean's anti-war position would hurt him. According to a recent USA TODAY/ CNN/Gallup Poll, approval of the U.S. handling of Iraq has plummeted from 80% in April to just 42% in November.
Watch that number, because it reflects Americans' growing concern about increasing deaths and disorder in Iraq instead of the "cakewalk" we were promised by the Bush administration.

surprising in the USA toady (not a typo) rag - only thing that is not is that it is shown as the "opposing" viewpoint.
