being tutored.

Being president can be really, really hard.

“Sometimes you’re the commander in chief,” W. explained to Scott Pelley on “60 
Minutes.” “Sometimes you’re the educator in chief, and a lot of times you’re 
both when it comes to war.”

President Bush has been dutifully making the rounds of TV news shows, trying to 
make the case that victory in Iraq is “doable.” He thinks the public will 
support the Surge if he can simply illuminate a few things that we may have 
been too thick to understand. For instance, he says he needs to “explain to 
people that what happens in the Middle East will affect the future of this 
country.” Yes, Mr. President, we get it.

He also told Jim Lehrer last night that in 20 years, radical Shiites could be 
warring with radical Sunnis and Middle Eastern oil could fall into the hands of 
radicals, who might also get weapons of mass destruction.

So after scaring Americans into backing the Sack of Iraq by warning that 
radicals could get W.M.D., now he’s trying to scare Americans into supporting 
the Surge in Iraq by warning that radicals could get W.M.D.

So many deaths, so little progress.
