Public Opinion Turns Against Bush

The month of August is definitely seeing a distinct change in public attitudes and coverage of Bush and the war...

This from CNN coverage of Bush's rall-round-the-flag speech at the VFW:

"Between 400 and 500 people gathered at an anti-war rally in Pioneer Park, about three blocks from the Salt Palace where Bush spoke. "It's like Vietnam all over again, and I opposed that, too," said George Muller of Salt Lake City, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel dressed in desert fatigues.

Muller, who said he served from 1961-2002, said that he was pleased to see so many people at the rally, and that he believed there has been a shift in the country's attitude toward the war.

"That's what it's going to take -- veterans groups, veterans and mothers who have lost kids speaking out," Muller said."
