Regarding - Bush Notes Dowd's 'Emotional' Critique of War
Bush Notes Dowd's 'Emotional' Critique of War -- With His Son About to Join Fight
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003566742

Bush pooh-poohed Dowd's Critique - brushing it off as being based on emotions.

in doing so, bush is also pooh-poohing the views of families who have loved ones in Iraq, those who have family members who were wounded or killed in Iraq and think the war is wrong.

in a nutshell bush is saying - if you have any relatives who are in Iraq, wounded in Iraq, or killed in Iraq your opposition to the war is based on emotions and therefore not valid.

1. One news cast showed several spokes people for the WH
all using the talking points.. that Dowd was on a personal journey. That 20% will swallow any talking point that Rove dreams up, no matter how trite.

5. You really can't enjoy this war unless you remain detached ...
like him. If you stop to think about it it will only depress you. Don't trouble your beautiful mind by caring. Remember none of the people dying in this war are big money campaign donors.
