Disarray

Maybe this is a good sign that the Administration can't keep their story straight. Maybe they're just so used to a hobbled press that they know the real question won't be asked. In any case, there have been many recent calls for Bush to come up with a plan and some dates to try to get us out of Quagmire II - The Sequel. Requests by Republicans are treated with sober thought, while the very same question identifies a Democrat as a traitor who wants Saddam back in power.

Congressional vote on Iraq war withdrawal plans - defeated.

DoD would have none of it - when you're in the middle of a catastrophic success, don't you want to see how it ends up?

But Cheney just recently said we might be there until 2009 - just the time for Bush to dump this mess on the new Democratic president.

I hope the press gets over their sense of awe at the message discipline of the Bush administration - cuz it doesn't exist.
