They're clueless at the White House. And, it's causing people to die. Monday, at the White House briefing, Tony Snow could not answer a very simple question:
QUESTION: Just a simple question: Are we winning?Facing a mounting U.S. death toll, Snow was spinning at the White House today. They don't know if we're winning. They don't know how to define winning. But Bush's plan is to win:
SNOW: We’re making progress. I don’t know. How do you define winning?
Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said the sudden surge in troop deaths would not force President Bush to alter his war plans.One thing is clear from the smooth talking Tony Snow: There is NO strategy. Bush has no plan for Iraq. Every day the death toll mounts for US troops and for Iraqis. But, the President who got us in to this quagmire, has no way to get us out. He only has a campaign slogan of "stay the course."
“No, his strategy is to win,” Mr. Snow said in Washington. “The president understands not only the difficulty of it, but he grieves for the people who have served with valor. But as everybody says correctly, we’ve got to win. And that comes at a cost.”
The only way to change the course is to change the Congress.
