You can't say, I support the troops, but I hate the cause....when he said those words today to the white house press corps, spinmeister tony snow essentially gave away the white house rhetorical strategy on iraq, tho perhaps neither he nor the reporters realized it.
snow even elaborated on the idea, saying the troops were committed to the cause, so opposing it opposes them.
that's exactly the idea bush and his cronies want to sell, because then their supporters associate dissent with hating the troops, and dems in congress fear voting against funding the war.
"support our troops" is the most subtle of cudgels.
the real way to support troops: bring'em home!
