Plan F?

We’re beyond Plan B. The Bush administration is scrapping its latest plan for a transition government in Iraq. I’m not sure how many different schemes for peace have been tried there, but it’s clear the administration didn’t think very hard about what they could achieve before starting a war. Can Democrats develop cogent messages that this administration, whether in foreign policy or in domestic affairs, has a string of defeats, strategy changes and dubious predictions? It seems that since Bush infamously proclaimed, “Bring it on” we’ve lost hundreds of soldiers with many more maimed, and the Iraqis dissidents and outside terrorists have been more than up to his challenge. On the domestic side, remember that promise of creating 2.6 million new jobs. Well, never mind.
