"Yet Rove had reason to be concerned. His own internal polling six months before the (2004) election showed that Bush would gain 3.5 percent more if Iraq, strongly identified with Cheney ceased to be an issue --- a critical margin in what would certainly be a close election."If I'm not mistaken, in 2004, Rove was begging Democrats to focus on Iraq. Let this be a lesson.

"We were all very lucky that the thin-skinned former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist withdrew from contention.

Step one in the plan to 'get it on with Radical Islam' was to get a secure military foothold in the region & foment sectarian violence between the Shia & Sunni-thus the Iraq occupation. We're now witnessing step two in Lebanon, Gaza & our Iran policy.
Funny how Miller wanted to "get it on with Radical Islam" even though he's too much of a coward to go over there and participate himself.
