Apparently, the Bush administration believes that when you are on the ropes, you just keep slugging with the same technique that got you in trouble. They would make pretty poor boxers just as they make a poor government.
Today in a news conference, Dana Perino, White House spokesperson, said that the escalation in Iraq is to keep the terrorists from finding safe haven and if we left they would find another country like Afghanistan. When pressed by Helen Thomas about how the administration knows this, she replied with the standard "rope-a-dope" of September 11. Thomas to her credit chimed in with the fact that September 11 had nothing to do with Iraq.
The Bush folks just can't give that up. Even though commissions and investigations and the top Bush intelligence people say there was no connection between Iraq and 9/11, Bush keeps repeating the lie. If you tell a lie enough times it becomes true? That must be their strategy, because if it isn't it just means that they are stupid, and I don't know which is scarier.
