Dan Froomkin in the Washington Post:
President Bush’s foremost political liability going into the mid-term elections is that the American people aren’t happy he took the nation to war in Iraq and don’t believe he has a way out.
In other words, they think Bush made a mess and has no idea how to clean it up.
Now, in what may be the ultimate show of Karl Rovian chutzpah, Bush is righteously attacking Democrats for not having a plan to clean up the mess he himself made.
Let’s see: if Democrats say what they will do if they win the election, they’re prematurely “measuring their drapes.”
If Democrats don’t say, unanimously and in great detail, exactly what they will do if they win, they have “no plan.”
Oh, no! The Democrats have walked straight into another brilliant Rove trap! (He is a genius, you know.)
