American politics is much less shrill now than it was during the period of party-run newspapers, for instance. It only seems more partisan because of the talk radio and cable news shows. But remember that few people really watch or listen to these shows, even though it might seem like a lot do.
As for whether this was just an election ploy, that's not a really important question. He was letting the troops and nation know that he is politically invested in what the troops are doing. I'm sure it's tough to be deployed in Iraq, sometimes having the feeling that the deployment isn't getting much attention from the White House, and that all of the politicians who can get things done are running from the situation. This was very effective in tying Bush to the success of the occupation and quashing any such thinking.Last edited by DanS; November 29, 2003, 23:17.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

how is that relevant?Originally posted by Winston
Try taking a peek at the first post of this thread, and the time it was posted.
if you think the Washington Post is wrong, then find a news source to refute it... aw wait a minute, you can't... BECAUSE THEY ARE RIGHTNot everything in the papers is true, even if it happens to fit nicely into one's agenda.
nice try tho...
here's another source confirming the AM arrival time in Baghdad
Air Force One touched down at Baghdad International Airport, under cover of darkness, at 5:20 AM Baghdad time. Bush was on the ground for two and a half hours, his plane departing Baghdad at around 7:50 AM.To us, it is the BEAST.

I didn't write this "version" which happens to be true...Fine Sava, believe your version of it if you must.
yeah... hook line and sinker... there's one born every minuteBut I - and millions of others - actually saw the news posted on the Web, just minutes after he took off from Baghdad early Thursday evening.
To us, it is the BEAST.
