Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Putting the moron back in oxymoron.
In similar comments to Time magazine, published on Sunday, Mr. Bush called the insurgency the result of the "catastrophic success" of the military operation in the early days of the invasion. In both interviews, he took the position that victory was so swift that Mr. Hussein's loyalists had time to melt back into the cities and towns and re-emerge for the insurgency.
A "catastrophic success," you say? Hmm. The reason we are losing the war is that we won it too quickly. Okay. As for "Mr. Hussein's loyalists," one could hardly blame Moqtada al-Sadr for his loyalty after Saddam had his father and uncle murdered and forced Moqtada to go into hiding for four years.
So which is the case: is Bush really this stupid or does he think we are?
TrackBackI would think this kind of stupidity has two general audiences. The first are people who have already decided to vote for Bush. These people are very skilled from four years of practice at ignoring common sense and twisting logic to justify their faith in this guy.
The other group are the undecideds, who don't really care to pay attention to or think much about political issues. Despite their apathy, most of these people probably aren't stupid, but enough of them are.

Hmmm, well, I guess my flaw is that I work too hard. Really. If given an assignment, I'll pursue it professionally and completely until it is finished to your satisfaction.
Yup. That's my flaw.
