Victory in Iraq or Victory in the Polls? How Bush Caught the 'Feaver' in Big Iraq Speech This Week


In his major speech this week outlining a strategy for Iraq that might turn around public opinion on the war, President Bush used the word victory 15 times against a backdrop of dozens of “Plan for Victory” signs. Is victory really in our grasp—-and was the talk based more on changing poll results than really setting a wise course in Iraq?

The questions will gain even more relevance with a revelation coming in Sunday’s New York Times. It seems that in a part of the 35-page “Our National Strategy for Victory in Iraq” document posted on the White House web site, a few key strokes by those in know reveal that the document’s originator or author, is one “feaver-p.”

This person is Dr. Peter D. Feaver, a 43-year-old Duke University political scientist who joined the National Security Council staff as a special adviser in June. White House officials, while saying the document contained contributions from many federal departments, confirmed, according to the Times, that “its creation and presentation strongly reflected the public opinion research” of Dr. Feaver.

But Christopher F. Gelpi, Feaver's colleague at Duke and co-author of the research on American tolerance for casualties, tells the Times on Sunday that this week's 35-page report "is not really a strategy document from the Pentagon about fighting the insurgency. The Pentagon doesn't need the president to give a speech and post a document on the White House Web site to know how to fight --the insurgents. The document is clearly targeted at American public opinion."

Feaver is on leave from Duke and says he is: "Special Advisor for Strategic Planning and Institutional Reform, National Security Council Staff." what a bunch of crapola.

the article lists other things he has written for the bushgang.

Feaver's dirt should be dug up and spread around.

wonder who writes Rummy's articles.

this morning on Wash. Journal Mike, who always tries to plump up smirk, Allen said everybody at the W.H. had a hand in writing smirk's speeches.

It isn't as if we don't know that, why is it necessary to dig dirt on the speech writer?

how strange

that explains a lot...

because Johnny gets better the more alcohol he gets!

Plan for Victory... Preparation H for the sheep.
