Plan For Victory

In his campaign to build support for the war in Iraq, the President has been going around the country, appearing in front of backdrops that say, "PLAN FOR VICTORY." What the White House doesn't seem to notice is that most Americans wish that Mr. Bush had one.

(The President's effort hasn't been helped by the people who go in to set up the stage for him. They're wearing roadie jackets emblazoned, "Snake Oil 2006--National Tour."

Bush's problem is one that Harold Hill (of The Music Man) could have told him about: you can only sell snake oil for so long before the rubes wake up. Once they do, you're dead.
