Good question. It's exactly what the White House is trying to do. And the majorities against Bush and his policies have been increasing:
In a move to preempt the antiwar protesters converging on Washington this weekend, President Bush yesterday put forth the following equation: Withdrawing from Iraq equals letting the terrorists win equals more 9/11s.Bush has screwed up Iraq and cost the ruined the lives of thousands of Americans, let alone the tens of thousands of Iraqis. He's lost the support of the nation because his administration has been built on a lie. And now he's trashing the majority of his constituents. Good work, W.
The White House's goal is to cast anybody who supports a pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq as sadly delusional, reckless and not to be taken seriously.
But Bush may be in trouble here, because he's trying to marginalize a majority.
A recent Gallup Poll , for instance, found that 63 percent of Americans -- almost two out of three -- support the immediate partial or complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. Fewer than one in three Americans support Bush's handling of the war.
UPDATE: Just saw the ad from Gold Star Families for Peace on CNN. It's good.
