The poor boy on Pennsylvania Avenue (or is he in Crawford right now?) needs a little reality check. Declaring victory in the Israel-Lebanon thing, he made himself look even more clueless, or truthless, than usual. Every newspaper and media outlet was stating with unusual clarity that there was no winner in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (except maybe Fox, but I don't watch that. But the Current Occupant blithely stated otherwise, continuing his (and ol' Karl's) pattern of government by proclamation. They clearly believe that if you make definite statements, even if they are clearly incorrect, and make them often enough, you'll change reality. Didn't someone try this in Germany in the 1930s?
