The First Lady Has Her Finger on the Pulse of America
From an (hard-hitting) interview with Larry King:
First Lady Laura Bush acknowledged that she has found the Iraq war and its aftermath “wearing,” but told CNN she fully agrees with the president that a troop withdrawal would be a “serious mistake.”
“Of course it’s wearing, worrying. There’s no doubt about it, and I understand how the American people feel and that they feel like things aren’t going like we want them to there,” she said when asked by CNN’s Larry King if the war had worn her down.
The First Lady went on to say: “Many parts of Iraq are stable now. But, of course, what we see on television is the one bombing a day that discourages everybody.”
A. According to the Brookings Institute, there are, on average, 185 insurgent attacks every day in Iraq.
B. 1 bombing per day is a lot of bombings.

Hmmm! Wonder how she’d feel about a mere 1 bombing a day in Washington DC.
