Keith has done another fine job here, taking the Bush Administration to task for using Senator Clinton and us as scapegoats to avoid taking responsibility for the disaster in Iraq.
As always, you can use the comments section to say 'atta boy' to Keith.

Tonight's Special Comment: Michael Chertoff's Gut
And now as promised, a Special Comment — on Michael Chertoff’s gut.
You have by now heard the remark — instantly added to our through-the-looking glass lexicon of the 21st Century, a time when we suddenly started referring to this country as “the homeland” as if anybody here has used that term since Charles Lindbergh or the German-American Bund in 1940.
Michael Chertoff’s “gut feeling.”
Which, he took pains to emphasize, was based on no specific nor even vague intelligence — that we are entering a period of increased risk of terrorism here.
He got as specific as saying that Al-Qaeda seems to like the summer, but as to the rest of it, he is perfectly content to let us sit and wait and worry - and to contemplate his gut.
