Sheehanization

The steady, simple, and undeniable statement, made over and over in the press, is finally filtering its way into the higher edges of the Democratic party: We were led to war on a lie. Facts are funny, persistent things.

Gary Hart in the WaPost:: "The real defeatists are those in power and their silent supporters in the opposition party who are reduced to repeating 'Stay the course' even when the course, whatever it now is, is light years away from the one originally undertaken. The truth is we're way off course. We've stumbled into a hornet's nest. We've weakened ourselves at home and in the world. We are less secure today than before this war began."
