Everything about this war was political. Remember, it was the BIG IDEA that came out of last August's 1 month vacation. It was executed to keep the 2000 election issues out of the consciosness of the American Voter. It was "rolled out" by the master Marketeers. Remember they say: "You don't roll out a new product in the SUmmer." This is all marketing a/k/a political (brand management). Nobody is smarter than the American Consumer.As with all Marketing campaigns when the consumer is fed false promises they vote with their feet. This is classic over-promising, bait and switch, and violated expectations. Spin won't help. New brochures and tag lines won't help.The Neocon's target category of consumer, the-some-of-the-people-all-of-the-time, is quickly shrinking. Bush sold us this Schlock and it is up to him to address the American people and come clean. Maybe Carl is working on the Checkers Speech. But, personally, I don't think Bush has it in him to do it.
