Who Said That?

When President Bush proclaims, as he regularly does, that "freedom is on the march," he cannot be thinking of Russia. Across its 11 time zones, freedom is in retreat, again.

Would you believe that's, er, George Will? And in the context of Iraq. And Fallujah. And the supposed January elections. Ouch.

If Bush is re-elected at this point, I think even some of his supporters may be surprised. If he's elected, ironically, it may be because he's Not Kerry. Which is sad really, that'd we'd vote for someone just because he's stubbornly consistent - despite whatever reality he's presented with.

Thanks for being honest Mr. Will. That's more than we get from this administration.
