Yes, you know I have argued about this in the past on the boards. There is so much unsaid. The world believes the war was unsuccessful because the only justification for it was the WMD, since that was proven to be a lie they say the war has been a total lie. In fact, as I have specified many times before, WMD were not the only justification, it was three reasons for going to war, the other two being democratization and Saddam-terrorism connections, which were strongest as ever. Democratization is succeeding. European media still believe what Michael Moore said was true, now why doesn't Bush take care of promoting an offensive on that level? Why doesn't he show the numbers? Way more people would die when Saddam was in power, I mean daily, than they have been dying daily since March/April 2003. Again, there was a lot of speculation by the left on the Katrina thing. They mocked Bush for inefficiency and "there will be 10 K or 15 K or even 30 K victims", it's a disaster, the whole world made fun of the US because it couldn't stand up to a natural disaster. In fact, 1000 people died, "only". In fact, there was a hurricane exercise, simulation and training last year in NOLA for a hurricane that was conceived to be even weaker than Katrina, and expected victims according to the data were 16 K. Now Katrina was stronger than that and we only had 1000 victims. It means plans have worked. When things didn't work it was because the media had made the gov't think they had to send war troops overthere able to fight a revolution when in fact it wasn't true and all they needed was food and water to deliver. There were so few violence episodes, rapes. Noone actually died because of violence at the Superdome when our media talked of "dozens of people dead at the Superdome". Now why doesn't Bush now make fun of all that?
That's just some examples.
