Could media distort this: " Bush betrayed troops by lying us into war...

so his friends could profit.

Everything we discuss about how to continue or get out must take that into account."

If that was the central message in a press release or television appearance, how could media or Bushies distort it?

Part of how Howard Dean got nailed on his recent statement was he was sticking to the script of sticking to talking about "where we go from here." When you JUST talk about that, it can look defeatist if people still vaguely assume there is some noble cause at root of the invasion.

Accurately identifying the real causes will lead to realistic solutions.

I'm wondering why Democrats can't say this unless they would like Bush's friends to be THEIR friends.
