The gruesome killings and mutilations in Fallujah on Wednesday and the
new attacks yesterday raise serious doubts about the administration's
confident predictions that it will be able to hand over power to Iraqi
authorities by June 30.

Alongside the horrific images from Fallujah, a parade of foreign
policy types has taken to the airwaves cautioning viewers about a
"Mogadishu" effect. Americans, they warn, may be tempted to cut and
run from Iraq, as in Somalia a decade ago. But the greater challenge
for Americans will not be persuading themselves to stay the course in
Iraq. It will be persuading the very elites who have been lecturing
them.

THE BUSH administration's struggle to keep secret the workings of Vice
President Cheney's energy task force has been going on since early in
the president's tenure. The White House fought the General Accounting
Office's examination of the task force and won. It is currently
litigating before the Supreme Court to keep task force records from
being disclosed in the lawsuit most famous for Justice Antonin
Scalia's ill-timed duck hunt. And in a separate legal skirmish, it is
fending off Freedom of Information Act lawsuits from environmentalists
and a conservative watchdog group that seek to force federal agencies
to release information about their employees' work for the task force.
Last week, in that latter case, U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman
ordered the administration to search for and release a large volume of
material, rejecting the government's arguments that it could lawfully
be kept under wraps. The government can appeal, and it probably will
-- just as it has appealed other adverse judicial rulings related to
the task force. But it ought to think hard about simply releasing the
information and letting the matter rest.

Unless you're a complete innocent, you must sense an air of unreality
to the furor caused by Richard Clarke's accusations that the Bush
administration didn't take terrorism seriously enough until Sept. 11.
Washington storytelling is often an exercise in special effects. It
creates drama and controversy by exaggerating villainy, incompetence,
heroism and brilliance. As in the movies, we think we see things that
didn't actually happen. The effects occur only by denying truths that,
if admitted, would spoil the drama.

" 'No one starts a war, or rather no one in his senses should do so,'
Clausewitz wrote, 'without first being clear in his mind what he

Mistake number one in Vietnam. Which led to Clausewitz's rule number
two. Political leaders must set a war's objectives, while armies
achieve them. In Vietnam, one seemed to be looking to the other for
the answers that never came."

Critics who still chastise the Bush administration for failure to
"engage" with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict seem not to have
noticed that over the past several months the White House has been
more deeply involved in trying to broker a breakthrough than at any
time since President Bill Clinton's Camp David summit in the summer of
2000. The outcome of these mostly secret and underreported parleys
will begin to emerge this week, with the latest visit to Washington of
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon -- and the result could be
President Bush's commitment to another Middle Eastern gambit that is
as risky as it is bold.
