If I were President Bush, I would expect to eat a little crow right about now, and down it without complaint.
A little humility wouldn’t come amiss from a president who has managed to manipulate the press and the American people with his brand of macho play-acting and is now, perhaps, finally having to own up to a few miscalculations.
After lunging ahead to war without the support of much of his electorate — or the rest of the world, for that matter — Bush is now admitting begrudgingly that war games aren’t always a good predictor of actual outcomes, especially if you cast yourself as the conquering hero and forget that the conquered might have something to say about it.
The president is now slinging around words like “sacrifice” and “duty”, which are easy words to sling around when you’re asking someone else to do them.
