He's the reviser:
As he searches for a new strategy for Iraq, Bush has now adopted the formula advanced by his top military adviser to describe the situation. "We're not winning, we're not losing," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. The assessment was a striking reversal for a president who, days before the November elections, declared, "Absolutely, we're winning."
It wasn't all that long ago (h/t Hullabaloo) when things were all wine and roses...or was that self-righteous whine and rose-colored glasses?
Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.
And, of course, who can forget
Bring 'em on.
There's more--Shrub's own take on "revisionist historians," "stay the course," "weapons of mass destruction," "the British government has learned," etc. etc. And, on the domestic side, we've got "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees," to cite just one example.
You know, I keep seeing stories in the media about Bush being stubborn...or steadfast, stalwart, or whatever they decide call it. Well, it seems to me that the only quality that meets that criteria is...his stubborn refusal to recognize reality.
