The article describing Bush’s visit to Iraq today has the headline:

Bush makes war assessment in Iraq

…when it should have read, “My God! How much does the White House pay the Associated Press to produce this drivel?” It begins:

President Bush and his national security team made a first-hand assessment of the war in Iraq and prospects for political reconciliation Monday before a showdown with Congress over the U.S. troop buildup.

The “first-hand assessment of the war,” consisting of a brief stay at a remote airbase in Anbar Province. It continues:

The president secretly flew 12 hours to this dusty air base in a remote part of Anbar province, bypassing Baghdad in a symbolic expression of impatience with political paralysis in the nation’s capital. The gesture underscored the U.S. belief that the spark for progress may come at the local level.

Okay. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because it’s too dangerous to fly into Baghdad’s airport, drive from the airport to the Green Zone, where odds are there will be a mortar attack.happened. After all, it would be pretty embarrassing for Bush to be on T.V., talking about all that progress, when that

And for all of the naysayers who think this was just another cheap, political ploy by Bush to use soldiers for yet another photo-op?

Anticipating criticism that Bush’s trip was a media event to buttress support for his war strategy, the White House was ready to push back.

“There are some people who might try to deride this trip as a photo opportunity,” White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said. “We wholeheartedly disagree.”

Well then, that’s that. They disagree. Wholeheartedly.

The terrorist supporting retard who posted this intentionally refused to discuss just how dangerous the Anbar province was just a few months ago before the surge cleaned the thugs out.

These dorks always get pissy when the terrorists in Iraq are defeated.
