I admire what the President is doing for our country. I do not think there is an easy way out. If the American public does not stand for something, we will fall for everything. We need to stay strong, which is exactly what our President is doing for the weak Americans that cannot stay strong themselves.

I guess we the US public have no voice any longer, impeachment is a solution. Arrogance gives him power just like any other bully. Who will stand up to him?

I am sick of our government lying to us as to why we should "stay the course". There is nothing admirable about a leader who lies to his constituents in the name of freedom and democracy. In the world's eye the US stands for corporate greed and arrogance. Bush needs to be a man and step up to the plate and tell the world he has no CLUE as how to end the war in Iraq.

He could not care any less about the american public. The only things he thinks about are money and power and and who he steals it from makes no difference at all. Never have so few taken so much from so many for so long. Im just amazed at all the people who just cant seem to see through all of his BUll@#$% .

Slowly and in time the truth about Bush and invading Iraq will be totally revealed. Bob Woodward's book is just the beginning and a good one. Will this hurt the Republican's in November, time will also tell. May God be with us all as we don't have any support from nations worldwide. Except maybe Prime Minister Blair but not Great Britain.

I have been writing opinion letters in my local paper since Bush first started running for President. I stated over and over that he ruined Texas, economically, educationally, health care, and quality of family life. I knew then and felt like a lone voice crying in the wilderness" why a GOP majority in the House and Senate with a GOP administration was scary as hell. He has duplicated to our nation what he did to my state. He is not a native Texan. He was born in Connecticut and I understand that state is not proud of that fact.

What would that fix? Having been to Iraq twice, I have seen and had the same questions that alot of other people have, but if you see how many foreign supporters we have, it just might change your mind. People that have nothing to to with this war, that watch it from thier safe living rooms always want to say what is best for our country. You should just do what you do best... Stay out of it and let us do what we do best.

No matter what our stance was before going into Iraq, clearly we can agree that George Bush is obsessed. He is so obsessed that all other issues are unimportant: global warming, loss of jobs and benefits, over dependency on oil, alternate transportation programs, work programs for the unemployed, additional financial support to rebuild our decaying cities and neighborshoods. No...the only thing on his plate is Iraq. Republican or democrat...he has to go. His tunnel-vision will cause more damage than good.

Great interview. I alternately hate the GOP protecting Woodward and admire him for exposing the dirty underbelly of that same GOP when he thinks its necessary for the nation to know the truth. In other words i don't think Woodwards ethics are 100% but he has painted both parties as lacking at various times of his career. And while he may be a greedy newshound his investigative journalism is among the best when he puts his mind to it. After his last book on Bush glossed over Bush's inadequacies I think Woodward has realized he made a mistake and would be surprised if any info in State of Denial is found to be untruthful.
