Bush: pig-headed guy

Maureen Dowd in the New York Times (free registration required) says "The president prides himself on being a pig-headed guy. He is determined to win in Iraq even if he is not winning in Iraq.".

"So get ready for a Mohammedan mountain of spin defining victory down. Come what may - civil war over oil, Iranian-style fatwas du jour or men on prayer rugs reciting the Koran all day on the Iraqi TV network our own geniuses created - this administration will call it a triumph.

"Even for a White House steeped in hooey, it's a challenge. President Bush will have to emulate the parsing and prevaricating he disdained in his predecessor: It depends on what the meaning of the word "win" is.
