Bubble-Boy To Change Spin but Not Policy

According to the Washington Post, Bubble-Boy aka Our President, plans to try changing the spin on his Iraq policy, but not the policy itself. He plans to start telling the American people that he wants to draw down American troops in Iraq in 2008, provided, of course, that security concerns are met. Obviously, this is some Bush BS, or BBS for short, designed to give political cover to vulnerable Republicans in next year's elections without changing his policy that got us into this screwed up mess in the first place.

One of the many problems with the Bush Administration is that Bubble-Boy and King Karl Rove don't really care about how their policies impact on people othen than their wealthy supporters, they just care if they can sell those policies. There is little evidence that Bush cares about the fate of the troops serving in Iraq, or the fate of the independent contractors serving in Iraq, or how much money this adventure has cost America. He just cares whether he can sell the policy and help his party regain control of Congress so they can continue pandering to their wealthy supporters.

The media, though, may be finally catching on to the tricks of BB and King Karl. This is a quote from the Post article:

Yet key Republican senators have indicated that they would not be satisfied with a change in political spin over a real change in strategy. In a speech on the Senate floor after a White House meeting yesterday, John W. Warner (R-Va.) set the tone, declaring this "a time in our history unlike any I have ever witnessed before." Warner recalled that Congress has voted to require Bush to demonstrate progress in Iraq or detail how he will alter his strategy, adding that he warned the White House to take it seriously.

The significance of the above quote isn't what John Warner believes. The significance lies in the fact that the Post's reporters are using those comments to point out that the "new" Bush message is the same as the "old" Bush message. Two years ago, maybe even one year ago, a story in the Post would not have included the above quote. The media, like most Americans, have reached the end of their patience with BB's and KK's antics.
