Damn.. Why is it every morning there is another "spin" out of the admin on Iraq??

Lately it's been self-criticism (duh? correct) that the US had shown "arrogance and stupidity" in Iraq, then denial that those words were ever spoken, then, when concrete evidence was produced that those were the words, it was they were "seriously misspoke by using the phrase".

Next there was talk of a "plan". The following day the plan was revealed - blame Iraq.

Next day we are no longer going to say "stay on course". Next was a show of support for the unchanged "plan" from senior admin officials, Rumsfield et al, - where the policy had become "adaptable".

This morning the dialog from the admin (specifically George) is that Iraq is of "serious concern" to him, despite that, "we shall prevail".

Bets on that tomorrow morning "we shall prevail" will not be a policy statement or intended to reflect any "prevailing", but simply words to show our "intent to prevail". Jeez... my dog could spin better while he's eating his dinner.

OK.. The truth is really known. What is of more concern to the admin are US elections and fussing over terminology to try and sell the concept that Iraq is not as bad as it looks while having to admit the facts. But sure shows how much panic, bending and twisting is going on over a short timespan - and screws up the spin and PR in the process.
