Bush's two-minute drill
Jim Hoagland wrote yesterday in the Washington Post:
President Bush once again risks confusing his destiny with that of the nation. His presidency is running out of time. The United States is not. An all-or-nothing confrontation with Iran that has to be resolved before Bush leaves office is an artificial concept that will deepen American problems abroad.
He then added:
Sports metaphors are dear to Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. But their "new thinking" on Iran and Iraq must not be allowed to turn into the political equivalent of pro football's two-minute drill. The "hurry-up" offense that works beautifully for the New England Patriots at game's end is far too dangerous when the stakes are war and peace.
May I add - after yesterday's game, can we all accept that what the Pats try doesn't even always work for them?
