Bush is still in a real hole

The US president is facing a financial nightmare of his own making,
and needs all the good news he can get

The Bush administration must take care not to spend High Value Target
Number One all at once by letting a mob hang him this week. The
president was too quick to declare Mission Accomplished on that
aircraft carrier last spring; now he can say it's in the bag after
all.
But Saddam is only one of the administration's aeroplanes, and the
only one so far brought back to the carrier deck. There is still an
entire squadron of foreign, domestic and economic policies lost in the
clouds. If they don't come home safely, the Republicans might need a
bit of Saddam to divert attention during the presidential campaign
next autumn. Then they can hang him.
