Hold on, hold on, wait just one minute. GW now says we're "not winning" in Iraq. But then what about the sh*t storm that erupted when Gates said the exact same thing about two weeks ago?! Tony Snow had to engage in pathetic word play. And just before the election GW stated we're "absolutely winning" in Iraq; from winning to not winning in a matter of weeks?!

As much as Iraq is a very serious situation, how can anyone take what Bush has to say about anything seriously? It appears as if he's simply making things up as he goes along, trying to just get through another day, another week.

Iraq is his quagmire and he hasn't a clue what to do about it. Unfortunately, he won't admit to that and instead will continue to hope, experiment, pray, flail in the dark, etc.
