Iraqis have proposed a constitution; no word yet on how the Massachusetts supreme court will rule.
President Bush, speaking at the Republican Governors Association, showed some of the feistiness that his well-wishers have been yearning to see. About the Iraq war, he said, “Others would have chosen differently. They now agree that the world is better off with Saddam Hussein out of power; they just didn’t support removing Saddam from power. Maybe they were hoping he’d lose the next Iraqi election.” He promised to continue to be a war president in his second term—and to create an “ownership society” in which all Americans have some wealth in their private Social Security accounts. He zinged the Democrats relentlessly. The speech was taken as a campaign kick-off. It’s high time. The president has a real fight on his hands, and it is good to know that he knows it.
