Could it be that bush has gotten more arrogant since visiting the green ..

zone. I think that since he has taken his little stroll through the green zone he really thinks he knows what the Iraqis are all about and he thinks that everything is in control over there.

While he and his minions are strolling through the green zone which no doubt is airconditioned , he thinks the Iraqis love him when they are suffering without water and electricity, and the same could be said for many Americans (homeless, hungry and utilityless)

1. it's just part of the plan to seize the momentum

It's all smoke and mirrors. Perception is everything.

5. Not in his eyes ...

he really believes he is tough and brave and has some great knowledge about Iraq, and by visiting this portion he thinks he really is doing something great. He has to be afraid because how could he visit on thanksgiving and not visit the green zone he was only at the airport.

2. Absolutely

During the press conference he kept saying, "When I was in Iraq..." You'd think he'd actually spent time there, touring around instead of just a few hours in the green zone.

3. Is that possible?

To most, a fly-by and strut through a safe zone constitute precisely squat.

4. I was just thinking that.....how could he possibly be more

arrogant or cocky than he already is.

6. He was winding it down because of the polls...

and so he decided to admit that he shouldn't have said bring it on and dead or alive. That strategy didn't work so they took zarqawi off ice and threatened the prosecutor to get off rove and took this little visit , took his medication and now he really thinks he is the decider.

7. These trips give him a reason to shift his "package."
