I asked my dad once a long time ago, back in the heathen liberal 70's, whether he was smarter than the president. You know like most boys thinking daddy is numero uno Anyway he said, "I'm not the president am I" Naturally I took this to mean the president is the smartest man in the world.

Until I grew up. Has America?

Political strategists and public-opinion experts say a good part of this resilience of public support for Bush and the Iraq war stems from the president's oratory. They say Bush has convinced Americans of three key points that strongly influence overall support for the war: that the United States will prevail in Iraq; that the fighting in Iraq is related to the war against al-Qaida; and that most Iraqis and many foreign countries support U.S. actions in Iraq.

At the same time, the administration has limited damaging images of the cost of war in Iraq. While the president has met privately with the families of many of the war victims, Bush has not attended any funeral for fallen soldiers, and until last week the administration barred the public release of images of flag-draped caskets.
