"The New Way Forward"...

...That's the name of the President's next PR blitz for the war coming next week.

How this will be any different substantively from 2005's 'National Strategy for Victory in Iraq' (a now-forgotten huge media extravanaga made at a similarly critical point for the President) is not yet known. Perhaps a different-colored banner? Whatever it is, I am sure it will be equally forgotten a year from its announcement.

One difference between the time of that 2005 PR blitz and the one being planned now? Nearly 1,000 U.S. soldiers have died since then. For what?
