He's been doing exactly as you suggest for months (years) but has yet to convince me or (now) a majority of Americans that this war is something worth the blood and gold that's its costing.
Except, this president has no credibility, particularly when it comes to this war. If a liar suddenly tells the truth how do you know?
This thread is about his most recent attempt. The most he could come up with was to repeat his tired campaign rhetoric that any opposition to his war is detrimental. He did not talk of any new ideas. He didn't give any new plans. He didn't present any new options. He doesn't want to hear anything negative about his conduct of the war. To me, this was a desperate act of a shallow man. Certainly not the words of someone who can inspire a nation to sacrifice its young men and women for years to come.
