3. From what I'm hearing, it's
already backfiring. He paints that rosy picture, and everything we see/hear contradicts his opinion. Even some notable Repugs have climbed on board. Now if only Joe Citizen would open their eyes, ears and minds...

4. His rosy Iraq picture is as fraudulent as the his rosy economy picture
Seems like everything is falling apart for Bushco and they are resorting to hollow negative attacks and fearmongering since there is absolutely nothing positive to brag about during the past 4 years.

The fact that prominent Repub senators spoke out this week about the Iraq quagmire in tandem with the Dems, boosts Kerry's stance.

5. The minute that the bush* buttholes started spouting off how it was
hurting the truths telling the truth and saying that Kerry was undermining 'democracy' in Iraq was the flashing red light that let everyone know they were in deep trouble. And then saying that Kerry was undermining Allawi was a big mistake, because the Iraqi people have openly stated they don't accept him as their leader.

This week was one of heavy duty panic and desperation for these clowns.

6. Great to hear a reporter call it a "rosy scenario" to Bush's face.
... at the Allawi/Bush news conference yesterday.

hence adding to the backfire.

11. I would love to see a DNC ad
showing Bush spouting his rosy report on Iraq--followed immediately by a clip of Baghdad Bob insisting that the US was losing the war and being slaughtered by Republican Guard troops.
