Bush plans bid to rally Iraq support

Texas protests continue as Republicans disagree on conflict

CRAWFORD, Texas (CNN) -- President Bush will launch a new round of speeches to rally support for the war in Iraq, advisers said Sunday, as protesters camped outside Bush's Texas home and polls showed weaker support for the two-year conflict.

Senior aides say Bush will attempt to portray the Iraq conflict in the context of long wars like World War II, which U.S. forces fought from 1941 to 1945.

They said the president also will invoke the September 11, 2001, attacks, arguing once again that the insurgents battling American troops in Iraq share the same ideology as the al Qaeda operatives who crashed hijacked jetliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.

1. 4 years is a long war?

How about Viet Nam?

7. Nah...

Vietnam was a quagmire...WWII was considered the last noble war. I suppose Idiot Bush will say...the US entered the war (WWII) because we were attacked (Pearl Harbour)...we went to war in Iraq because we were attacked (morphing Bid Laden into Saddam Hussein). 9/11..9/11, 9/11.

2. Patton would shoot this ass and throw it off a bridge too.

George this could have been Grenada - you aren't going to be allowed to make it Stalingrad. Resign.

3. * needs to get a bigger shovel.

This isn't going to work. In World War II we knew what the hell when the war was going to end: when Germany and Japan surrender. This is of course, not the case here - this is a guerrilla war and you don't have diplomats signing surrender papers on the deck of a battleship in this kind of war.

4. I Wonder How The Veterans Will React To It (bu$h)?

I know I'm dreaming, but what if at least some turn their backs or heckle him. Thay can't ALL be bu$hbots.

O.K. Fantsay over

5. He got us into this mess-now needs to continue the "sell"

Bush lied us into a phoney war, and we bought it! And now with horrible -"war president" ratings he has no choice but to repackage and resell it once again as his generals on the ground state that suicide bombers have increased 100% from 2004.

6. Interesting...

"the insurgents in Iraq share the same ideology as al Qaeda".

Wouldn't it be fun to be in the WH press corps and ask Bush to elaborate on this in detail?

8. We INVADED a sovereign nation that had not attacked the US.

We invaded based on lies, hype, and deceit and a hidden agenda. WWII does not compare.

9. Bush plays to pre-screened 13,000 in Utah- more propaganda!

Bush could never deliver a speeech without Dems being eliminated from attending first!
