Yesterday Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asked President Bush whether the “anti-Bush press” is responsible for the American public turning against the war in Iraq. Bush agreed with O’Reilly, stating that he’s “disappointed that people would propagandize to that effect because the stakes are too high for that kind of illogical behavior.”As Think Progress notes, however, sixty-four percent of the country now disapproves of Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, and a recent CNN poll has Bush's disapproval rating at 61%, an all-time high for that poll.
If the stakes really are as high as Bush says, why do we only have 130,000 troops in Iraq right now? Shouldn't we have more like 500,000? Bush's problem is that, over the last few years, his administration and its apologists in Congress have politicize the War In Iraq to such an extent that the particular political turd known as the Iraq Debacle is now squarely in the GOP's pocket.
