The trouble is that many of the apologists are proud of it. You know, I’m at the point with these guys that I just wish I could make some money off of them.

Is anyone really “proud” of it now? It’s a rationalization, a temporary stop-gap taken up by Bush apologists while they wait for the next big production. They should have been out of Iraq by now and already into Syria or Iran. It was going to be a magnificent road show of US omnipotence. That didn’t work out; so they have to pretend that they had some other “strategy” in mind.

Heck, the flypaper theory only came into being because of the ‘and then a miracle happens’ theory collapsed upon contact with reality. But no matter, there will not be a shortage of people eager to defend whatever plate of steaming BS is served up by this administration. What will cause the administration problems is that things are so clearly not going well. The American people don’t care about the lies; they do care about things going clearly badly.
