Did anyone see Bush’s interview with Bob Costas in China yesterday? I couldn’t tell behind his constant smirking if he took this war serious at all. If he really wants to finish above 30% approval ratings he needs to get himself and his administration focused on containing this issue before it gets further out of hand. The one thing I got out of the interview besides Bush giggling like an immature dolt was that he seems more likely than ever to push for diplomacy which is the only tactic we can use in this instance since force is definitely off the table. Its too bad that our influence in diplomacy is considerable less thanks to our previous foreign policy debacles.
