Another depressing week in the war that won't end got off to a typical start as I read in Saturday's Washington Post that 'President Bush plans to begin a series of speeches next week again explaining the administration's strategy for winning the war in Iraq.' The repetitiveness of this White House tactic has gotten so absurd that the reporter dropped the press corps typical posture of feigned obtuseness and noted, repeatedly, that we've heard this song before. ... In truth, things have slipped so far downhill in Iraq that it's hard to say what our goals are, much less whether or not we're in a position to meet them. What can be said is that the administration's plans for Iraq seem to owe more to Samuel Beckett than to serious national security policy...
