Sullivan on Bush's Address

I find myself agreeing with Andrew Sullivan's review of Bush's address.

"...to reduce the immense complexity of Iraq to such a binary moralism is a sign of a president reaching for comfortable, Manichean abstractions as a replacement for strategic judgment and knowledge. The American people deserve better from a war-president: more honesty, more candor, more realism. Even now; even in the face of the horror we have witnessed for four years; even in the face of the failure that is still staring at us, he still cannot see what he has done or what is still unfolding in the Mesopotamian morass. And he has no policy that effectively matches the crisis with adequate resources."

Read the whole thing.

Yum.

One is real. One ain't.

A vehicle accident.

Sigh.

Enough, already.
