Among the things that remain unexplained:

* Why does Bush believe that staying in Iraq will make things better, when the evidence suggests that it keeps making things worse?

* Why does he believe that progress is being made, when the evidence suggests that Iraq is sliding deeper and deeper into civil war?

* Why does he remain confident in Iraq's central government, when the evidence suggests that the center is not holding?

* Why hasn't anyone in his administration been held accountable for all the things that have gone wrong?

And I want to know how an expensive operation in Iraq is paid for by tax cuts???

Opinion Watch

Maureen Dowd writes in her New York Times opinion column (subscription required): "Things have become so dire for the Republicans that now even Bush is distancing himself from Bush. (I added the bold type)

"The president is cutting and running from the president. . . .

"A presidency built on message discipline (Message: 'Stay the course') is trying to salvage itself with some last-minute un-messaging (Message: 'No more stay the course'). . . .

"In a White House with a Fox News all-spin sensibility, officials don't think they need to change the strategy as much as they need to change their slogan."
