Bush's 'stay the course' in Iraq falling flat

By Mitch Cohen
Special to The Clarion-Ledger

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

— President Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24

This week, President Bush set out yet again to make the case for his failing war. In fact, in a remarkable sign of political weakness, he's been forced to do so in two of the reddest states: Utah and Idaho. Having lost the nation at large, Bush is struggling to hold even his base.

Salt Lake City — site of an overwhelming Bush reelection victory —saw 2,000 citizens take to the streets in protest against the president and his war, led by the city's mayor himself.

Polls lower than Nixon's

Undaunted, Bush once again vowed he will adamantly "stay the course," and demanded the country do the same.

1. Over and over and over and over and over and over

Of course, the truth wouldn't be self-evident would it George? You of all people have to hammer it into their skulls.

Well, he is persistent isn't he.

I must admit that I take joy in watching him hit his head against the wall, over and over and over
and
over.
If it weren't for people like Cindy reminding me of what he's done, I'd gloat. But - we can't.

2. I try not to gloat either.....but

I do allow myself to be happy at his falling poll numbers!! We have waited five years for this to happen. We have a lot of work to do, but it is now like a snowball rolling down a hill....bigger and bigger. Personally, I will take great joy watching him crumble under the pressure of the people who are finally waking to the truth.
