Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

>>>Interesting that you chose to pimp the "72% of people won't be affected by the report" line. How about this line:??
"47 percent -- feel that the military is making progress in Iraq, "<<<


Just a matter of sorting the wheat from the chaff. The 70-72% figure is consistent. That's the crowd that's had enough and won't buy another used car from George Bush. 47% may have feelings about military progress but that progress amounts to what? It should amount to Maliki getting his house in order but it's not. Even Bush admits it which makes military progress a temporary victory that's meaningless in the big scheme of things.


>>>So, the meme has shifted from " the surge is a failure " to " well, what about the political situation. Dontcha think there MIGHT be a connection between the 2??????<<<


See above..


>>>Also funny how you discount members who were opposed to the war changing their tune after visiting there as a "dishonest political stunt"<<<


Wasn't referring to house members but to desperate Bush whores.

..."an advertising blitz from Bush supporters determined to remain on offense. A new pressure group, Freedom's Watch, will unveil a month-long, $15 million television, radio and grass-roots campaign today designed to shore up support for Bush's policies before the commander of US forces in Iraq, Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, lays out a White House assessment of the war's progress."

>>>Your myopia is comforting because I know I can always count on you taking the wrong side of every issue<<<


Ok, so let's compare score cards. I have spent the past 3 1/2 years calling Bush a tragic figure who'll end up being supported by less than 30% of the country while you've bit my ankles all the way from 90% to 28%.

I've also spent the past 3 1/2 years calling the Iraq war the biggest foreign policy fiasco in US history while you're still calling it a miracle waiting to happen.

Looks to me like you can't even be on the right side of recalling your own history.....complicating your argument.
