Dick Morris to W: Fight Back on Gitmo!

A man who understands that politics is a blood sport gives some valuable advice to President Bush on these Guantanamo Bay attacks: don't rest on your laurels, the campaign continues!

America never loses wars on battlefields. We lose them in the streets, at home, when people turn against a foreign war. We had to accept defeat in Vietnam because the American public would not allow the Nixon and Ford Administrations to intervene to stop the North Vietnamese offensive of 1974-1975. We could not break the stalemate in Korea because public impatience with the conflict sapped our ability to pursue it vigorously. We almost lost the Civil War when northern animosity to the draft almost
elected a Democratic candidate for president who probably would have capitulated to the demands for Southern independence.

Bush has the classic choice of any incumbent with a mess on his hands — he can be either the prosecutor or the defendant. He can either lead the hunt or offer his own scalp to his critics.

A strong offense is the best defense. Don't give Democrat pipsqeaks like Sen. Chris Dodd credibility by default.

Where's the "turd blossom" these days?
