The Bush League Team Is Once Again, Late To The Game!
By: Dr. Gary S. Goodman
Do you recall about a year ago, the Bush team determined that it was losing the war for hearts and minds in the Arab streets?
It hired a public relations lady, someone from Madison Avenue if I’m not wrong, to straighten things out, to portray us as the good guys we really are.
You can tell how well it worked, can’t you?
Now, we’re adored, from the West Bank to Damascus, and finally, those flowers are being strewn at our fighting personnel, instead of bullets and bombs.
Our side of the story is being told, and those evil terrorist mobsters are finally being vilified in the Arab press, just as they deserve.
This is just one more example of the Bush team’s bush league efforts to play catch-up.
They’re not the gang that couldn’t shoot straight; they’re the team that can’t talk straight.
Finally, the disclosure came forth that we’d be in Iraq until at least 2009, and it would be up to future Presidents to decide when we’d exit.
Imagine if W had gone to Congress, initially, and requisitioned men and materiel for a conflict that he predicted would last, minimally, for seven years, that would not be finished on his watch.
What would our legislators have said–no problem?
What are they going to say now?
Midterm elections are coming. Isn’t this the time that Congress finally asserted itself and rallied against the incompetents in the Executive Branch?
