Losing

It's official. George W. Bush makes Jimmy Carter look competent.

In the past week or so we've learned:

1. Pakistan, our alleged "ally" in the war on terror, has signed a "truce" with the tribal warlords who control the border areas where Osama bin Laden is presumed to be hiding;

2. Al-Qaeda's membership, estimated at 20,000 on 9/11, is now estimated by U.S. intelligence agencies at 50,000;

3. The U.S. is walking away (or waving the white flag, if you will) from the Anbar province of Iraq - essentially the entire western half of that country; and

4. President Bush told reporters yesterday that bin Laden is "not a top priority use of American resources."

The Democrats need only do one thing...Produce a TV commercial that will run nation-wide that pounds home these four failures and then, at the end of the commercial, plant the President's face on the screen and ask Americans one simple question: Are we really winning?

Say it with me: Worst. President. Ever.
