Reclining at his desk, dabbing the coffee spill from his sample case, Norman Podhoretz avers:
"I must confess to being puzzled by the amazing spread of the idea that the Bush Doctrine has indeed failed the test of Iraq. After all, Iraq has been liberated from one of the worst tyrants in the Middle East; three elections have been held; a decent constitution has been written; a government is in place; and previously unimaginable liberties to walk around with the dog's head of your choice sewn on your body! By what bizarre calculus does all this add up to failure? And by what even stranger logic is failure to be read into the fact that the forces opposed to AssBananas are fighting back with all their might?"
