Dissent in the states...

I understand that people will try to paint their political foes in certain ways, but this is simply retarded:

Meeting briefly with reporters Monday aboard Air Force One, Trent Duffy, a White
House spokesman subbing for Scott McClellan, said that President Bush believes
that those who want the U.S. to begin to change course in Iraq do not want
America to win the overall "war on terror."

Yeah... we liberals really want to hurt America... the ridiculousness and lack of civility is appalling but also standard operating procedure for this White House.

This part was nice too:

Speaking to reporters, Duffy said that Bush "can understand that people don't
share his view that we must win the war on terror, and we cannot retreat and cut
and run from terrorists, but he just has a different view. He believes it would
be a fundamental mistake right now for us to cut and run in the face of
terrorism, because if we've learned anything, especially from the 9/11
Commission Report, it is that to continue to retreat after the Cole, after
Beirut and Somalia is to only empower terrorists and to give them more
recruiting tools as they try to identify ways to harm Americans.

I will give him Somalia... the military decision on the ground was poor and the political decision thereafter was as well, but on the rest? Retreat? Clinton launched 70 cruise missiles at terrorist camps in Sudan and Afghanistan after the Cole bombing, but perhaps you remember that the right derided the move as wagging the dog.

Dillholes...
