With silence from the White House over the past few days, it seems clear that the Bush team is busy trying to rework their untenable position on Iraq into some kind of new spin that can be pumped into the media in time for Christmas.
Given their emphasis over the past week on 'staying the course' until the 'job is done,' it seems likely that the next big PR push from the White House will be some kind of 'new beginning' argument. To keep an upper hand in debate, it will be absolutely vital for the Democrats not to maintain control of the 'new beginnings' frame. |
