White House Bilgemeister Tony Snow while appearing on one of Sunday's talk shows on CNN and trying to goose the Presidents ratings, compared the Battle of the Bulge to Iraq.

"The president understands people's impatience — not impatience but how a war can wear on a nation," said Snowjob "He understands that. If somebody had taken a poll in the Battle of the Bulge, I dare say people would have said, 'Wow, my goodness, what are we doing here?' But you cannot conduct a war based on polls."
