Picking up on what Jim Geraghty quoted Tony Snow saying on a blogger call yesterday, Tony Snow is on Bennett’s show right now and is saying that the White House has not done enough. The White House has to provide a surge of information so Americans can get the true context of the war in Iraq and real examples of success. Both for the sake of context and for the sake of being able to feel good and have pride in our American military, who are giving “courage and spirit to the Iraqis.”
Amen. I’ll take that as an understanding in the White House that time and opportunities have been wasted for far too long and that simply cannot stand for any longer.
Good luck, because this really matters. I just hope it’s not too late. Luckily the media’s story from earlier in the week is wrong and the Republicans are not making an exodus from supporting General Petraeus…yet.
