Chaotic Times

I heard Bush on TV say that one of the things he wants to ask Maliki when he meets him in Jordan is (drum rolls please)...., "What's your strategy?"

One can imagine the conversation:

Bush: "So, what's your strategy?"

Maliki: "My strategy? What's your strategy?"

Bush: "Hey, it's your country."

Maliki: "Hey, you started the war. Didn't you have a plan?"

And on it goes. It is beyond belief.

A word of caution about the news. In the last few days, there has been a storm of contradictory things said in many quarters and no one has been more of a source of confusion that the Bush Administration. I try to be accurate but it isn't always easy to be sure I'm getting the right story. Only through sheer luck (and lack of time) have I managed to avoid posting a couple of inaccurate stories in the last few days. A lot of bamboozlement is going on and a few reporters and even a few blogs are sometimes rushing out stories that haven't been fully checked. Be cautious. And if there's a mistake on Donkey Path, speak loudly and I'll try to correct it.
