Why Nuance is an Important Trait In their latest clown-car demonstration, the Bush Administration is going to announce their Iraqi-Government "Spin the Bottle" Plan next week. Oh yeah, that'll work. Chimpy gets smacked by Jim Hoagland:

A sham transfer of power that allows Washington to continue to make the important political, economic and security decisions is an awful outcome for Iraq, and for Bush. A fig-leaf cabinet in Baghdad would be vulnerable to disruption or even being forced from office by violence and popular demonstrations at any point during the U.S. presidential campaign. It could become an albatross around Bush's reelection neck.

Good thing that is what they are going to try to put in place.
