Now Comes The Good News
Topics: Political News and commentariesJules Crittenden reminds us that in spite of the Dems victory and the ISG report, George Bush is still president:
The president who led us through the crisis of 9/11, who swiftly overthrew the Taliban and embarked on an ambitious project to remake the political map of the Middle East - viewed as a failure on both counts and reviled.Read more at BostonHerald.com ...And now the proposed abandonment of Iraq and the Iraqi people - presented as a "responsible" disengagement by the Iraq Study Group's Democratic co-chairman, Lee Hamilton.
... the good news this week is not the ISG's call for the measured abandonment of Iraq. It is, counterintuitively, that George Bush - sorely battered by midterm elections and the results of Donald Rumsfeld's bankrupt Occupation-Lite strategy - is showing signs he remembers that he's still the president.
As Jules notes in his piece, and the best news of all, there is still someone in Washington who is not acting on the dictates of popular opinion polls, and knows why we are fighting, and what the stakes are. Counterintuitively, George Bush wants us to win in Iraq, as we must.
