Bush Is Losing It

It was a bad week for the Bush administration, and it’s likely to get worse. The American people are beginning to understand the folly and greed that inform its economic policy.

Bush proposes to lead against Saddam Hussein is now a coalition of two, and British prime minister Tony Blair has lost the support of his own people, most especially members of his own Labor Party, who warn of a political revolt if Britain goes to war without a new UN resolution.
