unrestrained id said:
Under fire, Bush acknowledges tough going in Iraq



I'm not sure why Reuters/Id feels the need to create the misleading implication that President Bush is only now admitting "tough going" in Iraq. He was saying that even before he was re-elected.






In addition to what G-Man and WBAM have said, I'd like to draw attention to the abused quotes of Sen John McCain and Sen. Chuck Hagel ( both Republicans, for any who don't already know that), who allegedly make sweeping condemnations of the Bush administration's conduct of the Iraq war.



John McCain was interviewed on Meet the Press by Tim Russert last Sunday (June 19th) for the full hour.

At no point did I hear him disagree with Bush or say anything as distorted as what he is quoted in "unrestrained id"/ "Paul Wellr"/Whomod's quoted slant-piece.

The most dissenting thing McCain said about Bush in a full hour of interview is that " The President and I are much more in agreement than in disagreement", and that they are in agreement about 85% of the time.

McCain went on to list several specific areas where he disagreed with the President, including tax reduction, stem cell research and other areas. But McCain did NOT say he disagreed with Bush regarding the Iraq war or the war on terror.

McCain said that mistakes have been made "as mistakes have been made in every war", but despite the setbacks there are some hopeful signs in Iraq.




All of which proves that use of this McCain quote, as so many similar quotes from key Republicans have been similarly misused over the last three years, are just so much liberal smear, deliberately taken out of context.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
