“You’re asking if that [Iraq Study Report] is a repudiation of policy… no, it’s an acknowledgement of reality.” – Tony Snow, White House Press Secretary

Reality has descended in Washington, DC, or at least something that resembles reality: an analysis of deteriorating conditions that go beyond good and evil, or winning and losing.

As the world closes in around him, as the elders attempt to clean up the mess, Bush is all alone in his bubble, where reality has no currency. The real security threat to America is not terrorism, or insurgents, or “Islamic Fascism”… it is the fatal combination of arrogance and incompetence that threatens to bring down the whole house of cards.
