Calling him a "depressing, witless ferret" leads me to believe he has a hidden agenda.
That's a bit over the line comment about the president...but he makes the point that Bush hasn't yet laid out his Iraq agenda to the country and Rick Santorium as much said the same in his MTP moment debate with his Dim opponent today.
Yes, calling Bush that makes me not want to read him. And he still is not sure which one of them is the witless ferret. Perhaps it is the writer.
Bush was hoping that the invasion of Iraq would have the same effect that the one in Afghanistan had. It might have had, too, if they had stood up an emigre government in the summer of 2003. It seems, however, that the State Department and the CIA would not support such a move.
