Marcus Mabry/Newsweek:  The Elephant in the Room   ". . . nearly two out of three Americans (62 percent) believe his recent actions in Iraq show he is "stubborn and unwilling to admit his mistakes," compared to 30 percent who say Bush's actions demonstrate that he is "willing to take political risks to do what's right."

Just shows-ta-go-ya, it's all in the genes.  Cross a throroughbred with a jackass and you get an "ok" horse with big ears and an attitude, that can't reproduce.

Cross breed PNAC w/mules and you get a circle jerk, with everyone concentrating on the same task, at the same time, going through the same motions to achieve short-term results.

S'why we call it "wrong-headed".
