Did Bush brainwash America on Iraq?

Larry Elder’s exchange with a reader
Read this exchange Larry Elder had with a reader of his columns … the style of the back and forth should be very familiar to you – pretty much the standard operating procedure when debating some of the more rabid anti-war types.
What kind of poll is this??
Columnist Ann Coulter recently had to cut short a speech she was making at UConn because of jeering, boos, and heckling. Apparently sometime during the speech when all this was going on, Ann made the comment “I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.”

Steve Verdon at Outside the Beltway has an excellent post up regarding the American public’s perception of the Iraq war and how today’s public doesn’t seem to have the will to win that people who supported past wars did, thanks to today’s 24-7 media newscast which broadcasts every facet of the war almost to the point that the military can’t fight it without getting caught in the middle of an administration who wants to fight this war as it needs to be, versus the opposition, who wants to micromanage it.
Wikipedia as a source
I generally don’t use the online encyclopedia Wikipedia as a source, mainly due to the fact that literally anyone can come in and edit the content.

You won’t read much about these ties in the MSM, because they are too concerned with bringing down a Republican (see more here) to notice.
