4. The War President is STYMIED.... But he clings to the Notion that

all he has to do is LIE his way out and all will be well.

In his meetings with his peeps....I wish we could all see the real commentary....This is a man who don't read serious shit...all he knows is sports and fishing...hardly enough to command a Nation...I wonder how they interact?

[phusion]

6. this is an important observation

He has obviously been coached into trying to reshape the rhetoric on Iraq...I don't think this is accidental.

8. There is no war in Iraq - the invasion was a minor errand!
