Bush & Iraq: Patheticer and Patheticer

Monday:
The White House insisted that Mr. Bush did not intend to change gears. "Don’t expect us to lift a veil and have a whole different strategy," the spokesman, Tony Snow, said. "We’re not going to have a strategy jumping out of a cake."
Tuesday:
[T]he White House announced that an upcoming progress report will result in "the beginning of a new way" in Iraq. . . . "What Congress will get this week is a snapshot of the beginning of the retooling of the mission in Iraq," Snow said. "Everyone says, 'We want to do it a different way.' We agree. It's just now started."

  1. The Blivet Presidency
    The majority of Americans, both highly informed and barely informed, are now comfortable stating that George W. Bush is incompetent.
    The politically active voters are fully aware that what once passed for a Bush strength, that he rarely changed course, has now been unveiled as the cornerstone of his incompetence.
    Over and over again he and his crew have offered political slogans in lieu of reasoned action policies only to be dragged to ignoble defeat and capitulation to the forces of reason allied against him.
    An image comes to mind for me. Ten pounds of propaganda in a five pound bag, our very own "blivet" presidency.
