Bush takes "spin" to a whole new level
The following is from an article in todays S.F. Chronicle. Bush is taking "spin" to a whole new level. This isn't even spin. I would call it "out of touch with reality."
03-28) 04:00 PDT Dayton, Ohio -- The images from Baghdad and Basra bristled with explosions, burning buildings, street protests, rocket smoke wafting from the Green Zone.
The words from Dayton were "remarkable" and "victory" and "rebirth."
"Normalcy," President Bush said, "is returning back to Iraq."
The juxtaposition of images and words crisply illustrated Bush's challenge in pleading for more patience from his own weary public for a war that has now surpassed five years and 4,000 American dead. Bush came to Dayton on Thursday to make the case that Iraq has made impressive progress in political reconciliation in recent months, even as his argument was overshadowed by the latest outbreak of violence.
