Governments that supported Bush and his call to elective war have been replaced by more progressive leaders whose first order of business has been to remove that country's troops from Iraq.
Now with Australia and Poland very soon to join the stream of the outgoing, Bush is being left high and dry, even more isolated, exposed, and with the world aware of his status. The rest of the world is awake.
The coalition of the willing is Bush and Cheney.
Expect to see an even more aggressive assertion by the neo-conservatives peppered throughout the main stream media in the next few weeks. Those who want withdrawal will be called defeatists and traitors. There will be assertions of an imminent victory. There will be calls for a militarily strong America. There will be lots of talk, lecturing, but not much else. There will be edicts from Coulter, Cheney, Hannity, McCain, Bush and the usual suspects. The edicts will be repetitions of the past 4 years with a sentence or two mildly rearranged. Their anger and self righteous posturing will be hoisted up anew. As usual, nobody but the tone deaf Fox news crowd will be listening.
The tragedy here is that the complicit main stream media will leave Americans with the sense that this fringe and extremist element is the dominant and controlling voice. They never tire of this charade.
Bush's disappearing alliance
Finally, with no real 'victory' actually attainable and with no political solution to Iraq ever possible, its becomes important for Bush to move the goal post, adjust the language, rebuild the talking points, and feverishly work to save face, again. At its core, the American public aided by a conservative media like watching George Bush ice skate away from or towards his creations.
U.S. Scales Back Political Goals for Iraqi Unity
...the Bush administration has lowered its expectation of quickly achieving major steps toward unifying the country, including passage of a long-stymied plan to share oil revenues and holding regional elections.

The so called MSM is nothing but the mouthpiece of the wealthy few that own it. Almost al of these people are BV$H contributors and are all BIG time GOP party people. The reporters, journalists and editors can say whatever they want about Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton or Bill and Hillary but not KING Dumbfuck and his wonderful war nobody but them support. Expect them to find their lost voice after a Demo. wins next fall. Then all of sudden they'll be very on top of every tiny nuance of what the Pres. does or doesn't do. Lint on her blouse will be reported as if its anthrax etc. But in the mean time, for their guy he could take a dump on the WH lawn in front of their cameras and they'd applaud him for saving on fertilizer.
lol
Stopped watching the news on TV for good when shock and awe was packaged like the Olympics.
In my opinion the msm is a disgrace.
Disgrace is an understatement my friend. The so called News has been reduced too just another form of for sale infotainment. The most cynical people own the air waves these days. They don't believe in a commons nor so they believe such a thing as "we the people" even exists or ever did. Its them the feudal elite and us the peasants again .Welcome back to the middle ages.
