stubborn as ever
Bush Seeks to Ease Nerves About Iraq
WASHINGTON (June 16) - Facing growing pressure to bring troops home from Iraq, President Bush is launching a public relations campaign to try to calm anxieties about the war.
---
As with his new domestic agenda sales job, Bush plans to offer no policy changes on Iraq.

It's one year since we "turned the corner" by transferring the sovereignty from the US to the Iraqis. Obviously, that really did a lot to quell the violence! And now, despite increasingly growing violence in Iraq to never-before-seen levels, bush is going to try to convince the American public that things are going great over there and that we're actually accomplishing something! The incredible thing is that he'll probably do it for some people, since it's apparent some will believe anything that he says, regardless of the evidence of their own senses. But the AOL poll accompanying this article says that 80% does NOT think that he can reverse the failing support for the war, though it seems like the AOL polls are usually filled out by the more literate and therefore liberal minded people.
It continues to amaze me though that no matter how poorly his ideas are received, and no matter how badly he screws things up, he always refuses to change! There is a difference between being steadfast and being stupidly stubborn!
