From the pen of George Will (incredibly)

"How do the administration's nation-builders think elections are going to be held [in Iraq] in this maelstrom?"

"Who believes there are now fewer terrorists in the world than there were three years ago? The administration should be judged as it wants to be judged, by its performance regarding the issue it says should decide the election--national security."

"This grotesque presidential campaign, which every day subtracts from the nation's understanding of its deepening dilemmas, cannot end soon enough, or well."

Hear! Hear!
