More of the same

Glad to see that package your co-worker gave you to take to her relatives in Hungary didn't net you 10 years in Hungarian prison. As to what you missed, you hit the nail on the head--as did Fred Kaplan, writing in Slate about the president's latest speech before cadets at the Naval Academy:

This is the bottom-line failure of President Bush's campaign to persuade the public: He has still not outlined just what this war is about, what winning it means, and what it would honestly take to do so.--Slate

Incidentally, can anyone remember the last time the president spoke on national television before a non-military audience? I tried digging that up on the White House website, but failed miserably.
