Some good thoughts of what is to be expected tonight

Will Bush blame liberals Tuesday night ?
- Rove did: liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to .. offer therapy and understanding for our attackers
- O'Reilly did: [Durbin's] intent was to whip up the American public against the Bush detainee policy
- WSJ did: Iraqis are continuing to make .. political and military gains. Where the terrorists are gaining ground is in Washington, D.C.
- Santorum did: it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the [Priest sex scandal]..
- Joe Wilson, R-SC did: Liberals hunt down and kill Americans..
Blaming fellow Americans suggests desperation. Bush is now backed into a corner. And that's when just about any living creature fights with all they have to preserve the status quo... This is the moment when Bushianity will be the most dangerous. How far will they go ? The key to the answer lies tomorrow night.
JustWinBaby (also @ dKos) has a diary that will help even the dimmest American see through the rhetoric of bushCo. and hopefully send bush back to Washington looking worse off that he was this morning
The war in Iraq has nothing to do with Sept. 11. Saddam Hussein was a sworn enemy of Washington, but there was no Iraq-Qaeda axis, no connection between Saddam Hussein and the terrorist attacks on the United States. Yet the president and his supporters continue to duck behind 9/11 whenever they feel pressure about what is happening in Iraq.
The war has not made the world, or this nation, safer from terrorism. The breeding grounds for terrorists used to be Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia; now Iraq has become one.
If the war is going according to plan, someone needs to rethink the plan. Questioning our planning, tactics, and strategy is not being "soft on terror." Only idiots believe that. We are in a difficult situation because Bush and his advisors made a risky gamble and lost. They thought it would be a "cakewalk" and now they must face up to the hard questions. Simply asking these questions is not being "soft on terrorism."
Yes, it is possible to be for our continued robust operations hunting Al Qaida and Bin Laden in Afghanistan while being strongly against the Iraq war. It is not only logical, many Americans, perhaps even a majority, now feel this way.
