"Desert Spring" Sprung
Maureen Dowd is great in Desert Spring, Sprung, up now on the New York Times website. It's hard to pick just a few paragraphs to quote, but these should do:
The orange alert made me wonder again why the Bush administration has spent the last year and a half hyping the Iraqi menace instead of singlemindedly hunting Al Qaeda.Mr. Bush's presidency came into focus when he made his bullhorn vow to get "the people who knocked these buildings down." But we're not getting the creeps who knocked the buildings down. We're getting the creeps whose address we know....
Once they scratch their Saddam itch, maybe the Bush team can zero in on the terrorists who have put us on code orange, and the North Koreans who have put us on nuclear notice.
