President Bush in deep shit

President Bush, has made a speech at Annapolis and launched a 32 page "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq". He has three more such speechifyings before Christmas .. the Mid West can hardly wait.

This is evidently a Power Point presentation that every lame dick, PR bullshit Beltway booster has had a hand in. Windy rhetoric and piffle. Presumably the comic book version is being worked on as we speak.

What it does say is ... shit 37% popularity rating for Dubya, 68% opposed to the Administration policy on Iraq ... this might be an Exit Strategy.... for Bush. I can see a few Glocks being worked over.

VICTORY IN IRAQ IS A VITAL U.S. INTEREST

* The war on terrorism is the defining challenge of our generation, just as the struggle against communism and fascism were challenges of the generations before. As with those earlier struggles, the United States is fully committed to meeting this challenge. We will do everything it takes to win.

* Prevailing in Iraq will help us win the war on terror. ...etc....

Remember the Monty Python sketch "How to Do It"? It featured three perky hosts offering the vaguest possible advice. Their explanation of how to play the flute was "You blow in this end and run your fingers along these keys." And this was how to rid the world of disease: "First discover a marvelous cure for something, so that you can tell people how to get rid of disease and they'll jolly well have to pay attention."

That's what Bush's plan reminds me of. Only without that level of detail...
