President Bush has achieved this rare and exalted status. His critics are so blinded by animus that the internal consistency of their attacks on him no longer matters. For them, Bush is the double-bind president... nationalreview.com

>Do you want to send 2 additional divisions to Iraq? If Kerry can prove to me that it ain't too late to salvage the situation by sending more troops, then maybe. For now, actually, no. I'd be happy to "cut-and-run." It's one of the benefits to hiring a new CEO... you can safely burn bridges with the old policies, and blame the lasting results on the previous CEO -- just like in any big corporation. It'd help us save some face with the rest of the world, and frankly, I don't see a much better option. As I've said, I don't really agree with Kerry on Iraq -- I'm quite a bit to the left of thim on the issue... but I agree with him much more than I agree with Bush, I think he's a good speaker and a good leader, and I'd be happy to have him in office. -Z
