With his own approval number and the support for the Iraq war sinking in public polls, President Bush is once again urging patience and promising positive results. Should we believe him?

"If something comes along that is truly serious, something like a nuclear weapon going off in an American city, or something like a major pandemic, you are going to see the ineptitude of this government in a way that will take you back to the Declaration of Independence."

"… this administration now has the smell of Vietnam and the odor of Watergate."
