Last week, President Bush decided to cut and run from staying the course. The Iraq message has shifted, even if little else has, and one felt a little sorry for Republican candidates who had been parroting 'stay the course' throughout the election campaign only to find that the party line has suddenly changed. Others, who have been trying to distance themselves from those toxic coattails, might find some solace in the president's last-minute, and somewhat desperate, attempt to defuse the Iraq issue in time for Nov. 7. To admit that the war is going badly, even to admit to a couple of mistakes, cannot have been easy for such an inflexible individual as Bush, who is unreceptive to what some in his administration sometimes derisively call reality...
