23 days and counting
Our Dear Leader has not come out to meet Cindy Sheehan.

From Eugene Robinson of the WaPo:
I'm talking about the Vietnam Analogy, which Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel loosed last Sunday. "We are locked into a bogged down problem not unsimilar, dissimilar to where we were in Vietnam," Hagel said on ABC's "This Week." "The longer we stay, the more problems we are going to have."
Hagel is hardly the first person to use the Analogy, but coming from such a prominent Republican - one who happens to be both a decorated Vietnam War veteran and a possible presidential candidate in 2008 - Hagel's words serve as an incantation. Hagel has put the Analogy in play, and that's nothing but bad news for George W. Bush and his policy in Iraq.
Which is a good thing, since the president's policy amounts to the belief that if he concentrates really hard - and stays in shape by regularly doing the Tour de Crawford on his mountain bike - he'll be able to summon a miracle.
