I am still trying to give Dubya the benefit of the doubt regarding his Thanksgiving visit. This editorial by Doug Basham certainly doesn't bother with such benefit. While I agree with much of his portrayal of Dubya, I can't really jump on his "coward" bandwagon in this instance. Announcing the visit would most certainly have put the ground troops in incredible danger. I am quite willing to doubt Dubya's bravery in most situations, but this was the right decision. Choosing FOX News to accompany him is only fitting as they are so far right and so far wrong on most stories. Unfortunately, the 5AM "dinner" does make a strong case for this being a PR stunt.... Still, I will try to maintain my hope that it wasn't.
