Puppets

Posted on Friday 1 October 2004

My favorite line from last night, from Bush:

You can’t change the dynamics on the ground if you’ve criticized the brave leader of Iraq. One of his campaign people alleged that Prime Minister Allawi was like a puppet. That’s no way to treat somebody who’s courageous and brave, that is trying to lead his country forward.

The words don’t even capture the full stunned, Marie Antoinette-ish delivery. If you want people to stop making Vietnam analogies, maybe you should stop reenacting the Ngo Dinh Diem script to the T.
