Unavoidable

Try as they might to avoid it, some good news is seeping through the MSM filters. There must be so much of it, they can't stop it all!

First, the economy:
Dow's glide to 11,000 looks smooth
Then, Iraq policy:
Poll: Many Oppose Immediate Iraq Exit
Of course, they try to spin it as a drop in support, but it's still a solid majority.

And the headline-writer, perhaps due to the recent successful elections there, just couldn't find the cynicism to emphasize that point, it would seem!

And then W issues a smackdown:
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday he personally has authorized a secret eavesdropping program in the U.S. more than 30 times since the Sept. 11 attacks and he lashed out at those involved in publicly revealing the program.

"This is a highly classified program that is crucial to our national security," he said in a radio address delivered live from the White House's Roosevelt Room.

"This authorization is a vital tool in our war against the terrorists. It is critical to saving American lives. The American people expect me to do everything in my power, under our laws and Constitution, to protect them and their civil liberties and that is exactly what I will continue to do as long as I am president of the United States," Bush said.
Soem people want to stay in an infantile fantasy land when real lives and even our entire way of life, is at stake.
