Right winger Kathleen Parker, in her latest column, tries to help Bush with that pesky definition of "victory." But, this is how she gives him some love:
Staying the course is no one's easy road, and Bush is his own worst enemy some days. He seems tired of his own slogans and platitudes. We won't cut and run. We'll stand down when they stand up. Shift to the left, shift to the right, stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight.Yes, that's the man who is leading us to "victory."
In one of his speeches, Bush seemed to lose interest in his own text and didn't bother to complete a sentence about the Iraqi elections. Weary-looking and gray, he has aged dramatically in five years.
