First it was neocon darling and war drum beater William Kristol, who in a WaPo op-ed argued that the Bush presidency “will probably will be a successful one†because there hasn’t been a terror attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, the economy is going great guns and that war thingie is going to turn out okey-dokey.
Now comes president press secretary Tony Snow, who in a USA Today op-ed opines that “Politics sometimes manages to muddle the obvious†and goes on to muddle the truth by stating that the Bushies have taken out two-thirds of the Al Qaeda leadership and isn’t responsible for the ascendancy of all those naughty terrorists in Iraq.
