THE COMPLETE ARTICLE AND MORE OP-ED COLUMNIST Aux Barricades! By MAUREEN DOWD Published: January 17, 2007 Being president can be really, really hard. Sometimes youre the commander in chief, W. explained to Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes. Sometimes youre the educator in chief, and a lot of times youre both when it comes to war. President Bush has been dutifully making the rounds of TV news shows, trying to make the case that victory in Iraq is doable. He thinks the public will support the Surge if he can simply illuminate a few things that we may have been too thick to understand. For instance, he says he needs to explain to people that what happens in the Middle East will affect the future of this country. Yes, Mr. President, we get it. He also told Jim Lehrer last night that in 20 years, radical Shiites could be warring with radical Sunnis and Middle Eastern oil could fall into the hands of radicals, who might also get weapons of mass destruction. So after scaring Americans into backing the Sack of Iraq by warning that radicals could get W.M.D., now hes trying to scare Americans into supporting the Surge in Iraq by warning that radicals could get W.M.D. So many deaths, so little progress. --MORE-- mparent7777.blogspot.com/2007/01/aux-barricades-maureen-dowd.html Labels: 'surge', Bush, escalation, France, history, Iraq, MAUREEN DOWD, Media, Middle East, News, Politics, Rumsfeld, The New York Times, torture, war Cost Of Iraq War: $1.2 Trillion mparent7777.blogspot.com/2007/01/cost-of-iraq-war-12-trillion.html And More http://mparent7777-2.blogspot.com/ New website http://mparent7777.blogspot.com/ Alternate website with unique articles CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS MARC PARENT mparent7777 mparent CCNWON --------------------------------- Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people.
