G.W.B. has once again redefined "success" in Iraq. |
|
I don't get cable news, but I do watch the PBS newshour. When asked this evening what would define "success" in Iraq, G.W.B. replied:
"A government that can provide security for its people."
The words "democratic government" never occured in the interview.

5. He said something about the egg being cracked, not not broken. |

And since it's just cracked, we need the "surge."
Didn't make sense to me, either.

7. okay - "spreading 'security' across the globe" |
|
a) doesn't have the same 'ring' to his followers as the democracy line; and b) almost noone can begin to think that was is being spread in Iraq is "security".
Very stupid attempt to shift the conversation/rationalization - and it won't sell.

8. How do you redefine something you never defined in the first place? |
|
All Bush ever said about "success" and "victory" was lofty platitudes, stuff that could easily be thrown in someone's face, yet mean nothing ...
