The most recent "next story" given by President Bush for staying in Iraq was "to take the lead, and to deal with these radicals and extremists, and to help support young democracies. It's the calling of our time."

Just 16 percent of Americans think the federal government reflects the "will of the people." Just 11 percent agree with the latest neocon theory -- the "McCain Doctrine" -- which calls for the U.S. to increase troops levels in Iraq. Bush is expected to follow through on this gameplan.

5. no, but the spin that snow has given is that

the president never was about staying the course, but about being flexible to win. and the spin has been about listening to his generals on the ground.

Neither has been true. But that hasn't stopped Snow from saying it, and the conservative talking heads from repeating it as fact.
