The president who displayed his contempt for Iraqi militants two years ago with the taunt “bring ‘em on” had to go on television Tuesday night to urge Americans not to abandon support for the war that he foolishly started but can’t figure out how to win, Bob Herbert writes on today’s New York Times op/ed page.

At least someone in the mainstream press notices these things and has the guts to write them down for people to read, although I’m afraid not many people pay much attention to the New York Times anymore.

Meanwhile, according to a poll released by Zogby today, 42 percent of Americans say they would favor impeachment proceedings if President Bush misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq.

“The results of this Zogby poll are astonishing and reveal the depth of anger among the American people over President Bush’s lies about Iraq, even among 25% of Republicans” said Bob Fertik, president of Democrats.com.

Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice has some thoughts on this too.
