in The Globe and Mail by Doug Saunders has been bugging me ever since. It’s called No way out and in it, Saunders makes a very provocative case. Last Tuesday, “George W. Bush gave one of the strangest and most opaque performances of his presidential career. At the time, for those of us watching, it seemed that he was stubbornly, blindly sticking to his guns, refusing to change his Iraq plans by an angstrom despite terrible failures on the ground. Since then, it has become apparent that something entirely different had happened: The speech was a complete reversal and admission of defeat.”
Go read the article. It is one of the best pieces on the current situation in Iraq that has been published. I think it’s an important article.
