According to this administration's lame attempt at intimidation, noting that the Iraq war is a disaster is the same as spitting on our soldiers.

We've had two nifty opportunities to study the Bush spin machine at work here lately, both offering such a neat schematic of how it's done that one is tempted to applaud. Or something.

The first was the counter-offensive launched by President Bush on Veterans Day against those who have the nerve (!) to notice that the administration manipulated intelligence in order to justify an unnecessary war.
