  my opinion

  President Bush reacted to reports of what would be done with the weapons of mass destruction known to have been available and not previously used. The fact that the media insisted on knowlege of where we were going to look allowed the removal prior to inspection MAY explain why none were found. But the "War on Terrorists" was successful in ending more than twenty years of car bombs in Ireland. Only after Bush declared the war over, we had accomplished the United Nations Mandate, did we begin takeing casualties Only after the media changed the rules of engagement did we find ourselves in the roll of policeman without authority. Even when media personnel were taken we were careful to explain the fault was that we were not providing enough food, ammunition and money to aid the people we had aided against their wishes. Every terrorist has a goal-- and a timetable. The media aids in setting a timetable and selectively choosing what it considers progress--without any responsibility for its actions. The President should not have changed the Rules Of Engagement until after the terrorists had been contained and acts of terrorism punished -- For the media to blame him for not stopping the suicide bombers or car bombs shows the bias of the media. Getting out of Iraq sounds great but lets take all of our money and equipment with us and collect the war debt owed when we leave. We can use it at home in Texas,Louisiana,and New York.
