AP: bush's Speeches are "Too Rosy"!
Edited on Tue Dec-13-05 06:25 AM by leftchick
The beginning of this article reads like a karl rove inspired editorial regarding the chimps speeches and his poll numbers. At the end I found some truth....

<snip>

"My worry continues to be whether words and deeds match up," said Barton, now an Iraq specialist at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "I think he underestimates how difficult the follow-on period after the election will be."

Thomas E. Cronin, a political scientist and presidential historian at Colorado College, said Bush's Iraq speeches will help him "a little bit, but not much."

On the other hand, said Cronin, "if he doesn't do those things, he loses any capacity to be an agenda-setter."

Michael O'Hanlon, a Brookings Institution military analyst who has supported Bush's decision to invade Iraq, said he doesn't think the president had "enough new to say to justify four speeches."

"Yes, he's showing his focus and his resolve, and that's all good. But he's also not introducing many new policy ideas," O'Hanlon said. "And his interpretation of how things are going in Iraq is, as far as I can tell, simply too rosy."

1. It is spin. Good news and seeing the President on TV
Takes news off other stuff.Does not have to be any truth in it at all. Bush and truth are not two wards that go together well at all. Every one must know that if they can read.

3. He seemed pretty happy
with his 30,000 dead Iraqis, more or less and some loose change.
He has change his 911 tie to Iraq slightly- now it just inspired him.
Of course GFY cheney can still repeat the lie.
Rosy palm b*sh really likes this war! :freak:
