Same old same old

If you are going to try and bolster opinion for something that has grown unpopular, then you need to present something new. This isn't it, I have a feeling.

We know the war is hard work (just like being President), and that the sacrifice is great and victory important. The problem is, most Americans are not seeing the fruits of said sacrifice - heck, they aren't even being asked to sacrifice - and the benefits of our continued presence aren't felt by most Americans. Bloggers can argue back and forth about the war in Iraq, but everyone I talk to who used to be gung ho now projects abject indifference to the goings on and wonders when our troops are coming home.

I'm not suggesting Bush should suggest withdrawal, or even admit to past mistakes. But Americans don't feel involved in this so called "war on terror," and why should they? No one's asked them to be.
