Tuesday Morning Open Thread

The media keeps noting that Bush is in campaign mode as he tries to defend his pathetic record. Only thing, we're not in a campaign, we're in a war and our soldiers are dying. Can the media tell the difference? Or will they start covering this like it is some kind of political game?

One other thing....Bush is always talking about how much we need to support the troops. Yet given the failure of the Bush Administration to provide a plan for Iraq or to supply basic body armor, the only time W. really cares about the armed forces is when they are used as political props, like the event yesterday at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska. The military comes in handy for the White House then.
