Embracing Enemy Propaganda? Here, In The US? Could It Be?

"President Bush asserted Friday that critics who claim the Iraq war has made America less safe embrace "the enemy's propaganda." He acknowledged setbacks in Afghanistan against a Taliban resurgence but predicted eventual victory," reported the Washington Post.

The LA Times reports:

"During his speech, Bush scarcely mentioned the recent resurgence of Taliban rebels. In one of his few references to problems, he said: "The training of the Afghan police has not gone as smoothly as that of the army. Police have faced problems with corruption and substandard leadership."

Bush added that more than 20,000 troops from 40 other nations remain in Afghanistan, although he acknowledged that they are outnumbered by more than 21,000 American troops.

"The enemy understands what we're doing," Bush said, "and they don't like it These haters of humanity know that when the government in Kabul can reach out and improve the lives of local Afghans in distant parts of the country, the population will gain confidence in Afghanistan's democracy."

Bush said he paid no heed to critics of the U.S. operation in Afghanistan. He said naysayers have kept changing their argument, to the point where they now say that the United States has too few troops in Afghanistan to keep the peace."

Well, what does it matter if critics embrace propaganda or not? The Decider pays no heed to critics anyway...
